Title: Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Procedures and Extensions for Using the PCE as a Central Controller (PCECC) of LSPs Author: Z. Li, S. Peng, M. Negi, Q. Zhao, C. Zhou Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: July 2021 Mailbox: lizhen...@huawei.com, pengshup...@huawei.com, mahend.i...@gmail.com, qz...@ethericnetworks.com, chaozhou...@yahoo.com Pages: 33 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller-14.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9050 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9050 The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a core component of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) systems. A PCE as a Central Controller (PCECC) can simplify the processing of a distributed control plane by blending it with elements of SDN and without necessarily completely replacing it. Thus, the Label Switched Path (LSP) can be calculated/set up/initiated and the label-forwarding entries can also be downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network device along the path while leveraging the existing PCE technologies as much as possible. This document specifies the procedures and Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) extensions for using the PCE as the central controller for provisioning labels along the path of the static LSP. This document is a product of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
