     PCEP Extensions for RSVP-TE Local-Protection with PCE-Stateful
              draft-cbrt-pce-stateful-local-protection-01

Abstract

   Stateful PCE [RFC8231] can apply global concurrent optimizations to
   optimize LSP placement.  In a deployment where a PCE is used to
   compute all the paths, it may be beneficial for the local protection
   paths to also be computed by the PCE.  This document defines
   extensions needed for the setup and management of RSVP-TE protection
   paths by the PCE.

1.  Introduction

   [RFC5440] describes the Path Computation Element Protocol PCEP.  PCEP
   defines the communication between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and
   a Path Control Element (PCE), or between PCE and PCE, enabling
   computation of Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS) for Traffic
   Engineering Label Switched Path (TE LSP) characteristics.

   Stateful PCE [RFC8231] specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to
   enable stateful control of paths such as MPLS TE LSPs between and
   across PCEP sessions in compliance with [RFC4657].  It includes
   mechanisms to effect LSP state synchronization between PCCs and PCEs
   and allow delegation of control of LSPs to PCEs.

   In a network where all LSPs have control delegated to a PCE, the PCE
   can apply global concurrent optimization to optimize LSP placement.
   The PCE can also control the timing and sequence of path computation
   and applying path changes.  In a deployment where a PCE is used to
   compute all the paths, it may be beneficial for the protection paths
   to also be controlled through the PCE.  This document defines
   extensions needed for the setup and management of protection paths by
   the PCE.
