At the moment the PCE performs a get on all NSA description and topology documents, periodically polling using If-Modified-Since to discover any document changes. Unfortunately, this can result in a delay discovering a document change of up to "auditInterval" seconds.
To solve this problem the PCE should be modified to use the DDS subscription/notification mechanism. The initial subscription results in delivery of the current DDS contents, with follow-up notifications any time a new document is published or an existing document is modified.
