1.  Introduction

   The draft [draft-ietf-pim-sr-p2mp-policy] defines a variant of the SR
   Policy that uses [RFC9256] for constructing a P2MP segment to support
   multicast service delivery.

   A Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Policy connects a Root node to a set of
   Leaf nodes, optionally through a set of intermediate replication
   nodes.  A Replication segment
   [draft-ietf-spring-sr-replication-segment], corresponds to the state
   of a P2MP segment on a particular node and provide forwarding
   instructions for the segment.

   A P2MP Policy is relevant on the root of the P2MP Tree and it
   contains candidate paths.  The candidate paths are made of path-
   instances and each path-instance is constructed via replication
   segments.  These replication segments are programmed on the root,
   leaves and optionally intermediate replication nodes.

   Replication segments MAY be connected to each other directly, or they
   MAY be connected or steered via unicast SR segments or a segment
   list.

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   For a P2MP Tree, a controller may be used to compute paths from a
   Root node to a set of Leaf nodes, optionally via a set of replication
   nodes.  A packet is replicated at the root node and optionally on
   Replication nodes towards each Leaf node.

   There are two types of a P2MP Tree: Spray and Replication.

   A Point-to-Multipoint service delivery could be via Ingress
   Replication, known as Spray.  The root unicasts individual copies of
   traffic to each leaf.  The corresponding P2MP Policy consists of
   replication segments only for the root and the leaves and they are
   connected via a unicast SR Segment.

   A Point-to-Multipoint service delivery could also be via Downstream
   Replication, known as Replication Tree.  The root and some downstream
   replication nodes replicate the traffic along the tree as it
   traverses closer to the leaves.

   The PCE discovers the root and the leaves via different methods.  As
   an example, the leaves and the root can be explicitly configured on
   the PCE or PCC can update the PCE with the identity of the root and
   the leaves when it discovers them via multicast protocols like MP-BGP
   and MVPN procedures [RFC6513] or PIM.  The controller can calculate
   the P2MP Policy and any of its associated replication segments from
   the root to the leaves with these info and any additional Service
   Leave Agreements (SLAs) that is used to construct the tree.

   This document defines PCEP objects, TLVs and the procedures to
   instantiate a P2MP Policy and Replication Segments.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  Overview of PCEP Operation in SR P2MP Network

   After discovering the root and the leaves the PCE programs the PCCs
   with relevant information needed to create a P2MP Tree.

   As per draft [draft-ietf-pim-sr-p2mp-policy] a P2MP Policy is defined
   by Root-ID, Tree-ID and a set of leaves.  A P2MP policy is a variant
   of SR policy as such it uses the same concept as draft
   [draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp].  A P2MP policy is
   composed of a collection of SR P2mp Candidate Paths.  Candidate paths
   are computed by the PCE and can be used for P2MP Tree redundancy.
   Only a single candidate path may be active at each time.  Each

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   candidate paths can be globally optimized, therefore it is consists
   of multiple path-instances.  A path-instance can be considered as a
   P2MP LSP.  If a candidate path needs to be globally optimized two
   path-instances can be programmed from the root the leaves and via
   make before break procedures the candidate path can be switched from
   path-instance 1 to the 2nd path-instance.  The forwarding states of
   these path-instances are build via replication segments, in short
   each path-instance initiated on the root has its own set of
   replication segments on the Root, Transit and Leaf nodes.

   A replication segment is set of forwarding instructions on a specific
   node.  Each instruction may be a PUSH or SWAP operation before
   forwarding out of an interface, or a POP action on bud and leaf
   nodes.

   PCE could also calculate and download additional information for the
   replication segments, such as protections next-hops for link
   protection (FRR).

3.1.  High level view of P2MP Policy Objects

   *  SR P2MP Policy

      -  Is only relevant on the Root of the P2MP tree and is a policy
         on PCE.  It is downloaded only on the root node and is
         identified via <Root-ID, Tree-ID> It contains the following
         information:

         o  Root node of the P2MP Segment

         o  Set of Leaf nodes of the P2MP Segment

         o  Tree-ID, which is a unique identifier of the P2MP tree on
            the Root

         o  A set of Candidate paths belonging to the policy

         o  Optional Constraints used to build these candidate paths

   *  Candidate Path:

      -  Is used for P2MP Tree redundancy where the candidate path with
         the highest preference is the active path.

      -  Each Candidate Path can contain two path-instance for global
         optimization procedures (i.e. make before break)

Bidgoli, et al.         Expires 4 September 2024                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

      -  Contains information regarding originator, discriminator,
         preference, path-instances

   *  Path-instance:

      -  Is used for global optimization of the candidate path.
         Multiple path-instance can be present under a candidate path
         but only a single path instance is active at a time.

      -  A path instance is identified via <Root-ID, Tree-ID, Instance-
         ID>

   *  Replication Segment:

      -  Is the forwarding information needed on each replication node
         for building the forwarding path for each path-instance of the
         P2MP Candidate path.

      -  Explained further in upcoming sections, there are 2 ways to
         identify the replication segment, depending on the type of
         replication segment (shared replication segment or non-shared
         replication segment)

         o  It is identified via Tree-ID and Root-ID and path-instance
            for non-shared replication segment.

         o  It is identified via Node-ID, Replication-ID, for shared
            replication segment.  As per [draft-ietf-pim-sr-p2mp-policy]
            a shared replication segment is not associated to a tree and
            is used for constructing by-pass tunnels.

         o  Contains forwarding instructions, in the form of a list of
            outgoing segments each of which may be a segment list or a
            single replication segment with next-hop information.

         o  On the forwarding plane the Replication Segment is
            identified via the incoming Replication SID.

         o  Replication segment information is downloaded on any node
            that is replicating the packet on the path of the tree
            including the Root, Transit and Leaf nodes respectively.

3.2.  Existing drafts used for defining a P2MP Policy

   This document attempts to leverage existing IETF draft and RFC
   documents which define PCEP objects, to update the PCE with Root and
   Leaves information when PCC Initiated method is used.  Similarly,
   existing documents are utilized where feasible to update the PCC with
   relevant information to build the P2MP Policy and its Replication
   Segments.  This document introduces new TLVs and Objects specific to
   a programing P2MP policy and its replication segment.

3.2.1.  Existing Documents used by this draft

   *  [RFC8231] The bases for a stateful PCE, and reuses the following
      objects or a variant of them

      -  <SRP Object>

      -  <LSP Object>

      -  A variation of the LSP identifier TLV is defined in this draft,
         to support P2MP LSP Identifier

   *  [RFC8306] P2MP capabilities advertisement

   *  [draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp] Candidate paths for
      P2MP Policy is used for Tree Redundancy.  As an example, a P2MP
      Policy can have multiple candidate paths.  Each protecting the
      primary candidate path.  The active path is chosen via the
      preference of the candidate path.

   *  [RFC3209] Defines the instance-ID, instance-ID is used for global
      optimization of a candidate path with in a P2MP policy.  Each
      Candidate path can have 2 path-instances.  These path-instances
      are equivalent to sub-lsps (instance-IDs).  There are used for MBB
      and global optimization procedures.  instance-ID is equivalent to
      LSP ID

   *  [RFC9256] Segment-list, used for connecting two non-adjacent
      replication policy via a unicast binding SID or Segment-list.

   *  [RFC8306] P2MP End Point objects, used for the PCC to update the
      PCE with discovered Leaves.

   *  [RFC9050] for programming and identifying the Replication Segment.
      A new PCE CC Capability sub Tlv is introduced to indicated the
      support to handle PCE CC based label download for SR P2MP.

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   *  [draft-ietf-pce-multipath] Forwarding instruction for a P2MP LSP
      is defined by a set of SR-ERO sub-objects in the ERO object, ERO-
      ATTRIBUTES object and MULTIPATH-BACKUP TLV as defined in this
      draft.

   *  [RFC8664] SR-ERO Sub Object used in the multipath.

   It should be noted that the [draft-hb-spring-sr-p2mp-policy-yang] can
   provide further details of the high level P2MP Policy Model.

3.2.2.  P2MP Policy Identification

   A P2MP Policy and its candidate path can be identified on the root
   via the P2MP LSP Object.  This Object is a variation of the LSP ID
   Object defined in [RFC8231] and is as follow:

   *  PLSP-ID: [RFC8231], is assigned by PCC and is unique per candidate
      path.  It is constant for the lifetime of a PCEP session.  Stand-
      by candidate paths will be assigned a new PLSP-ID by PCC.  Stand-
      by candidate paths can co-exist with the active candidate path.

   *  Root-ID: is equivalent to the first node on the P2MP path, as per
      [RFC3209], Section 4.6.2.1

   *  Tree-ID: is equivalent to Tunnel Identifier color which identifies
      a unique P2MP Policy at a ROOT and is advertised via the PTA in
      the BGP AD route or can be assigned manually on the root.  Tree-ID
      needs to be unique on the root.

   *  Instance-ID: LSP ID Identifier as defined in RFC 3209, is the
      path-instance identifier and is assigned by the PCE.  The
      candidate path can have up to two path-instance for global
      optimization.  Instance-IDs are assigned by PCE per path-instance,
      they are unique within the P2MP Policy.  Two or more P2MP policy
      can reuse the same Instance-ID assigned to their corresponding
      path-instances.  A path-instance for a candidate path of a P2MP
      policy should program same Instance-ID on the root, transit and
      leaf nodes when it is programing its replication segments on the
      PCC.

3.2.3.  Replication Segment Identification

   The key to identify a replication segment is also a P2MP LSP Object.
   With varying encoding rules for the SR-P2MP-LSP- IDENTIFIER TLV which
   will be explained in later sections.

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

3.2.4.  PCECC Use in Replication Segment

   PCECC and a variant of CCI object is used in Replication Segment to
   identify a cross connect.  A cross connect is a incoming SID and set
   of outgoing interfaces and their corresponding SID or SID List.  The
   CCI objects contains the incoming SID and the outgoing interfaces
   which are presented via the ERO objects, which each may contain a
   segment list.

3.3.  High Level Procedures for P2MP SR LSP Instantiation

   A P2MP policy can be instantiated via the PCC or the PCE depending on
   how the root and the leaves are discovered.  This document describes
   two way to discover the root and the leaves:

   *  They can be configured and identified on the controller and are
      considered PCE initiated.

   *  They can be discovered on the PCC via MVPN procedures [RFC6513] or
      legacy multicast protocols like PIM or IGMP etc... and are
      considered PCC initiated.

3.3.1.  PCE-Init Procedure

   *  PCE is informed of the P2MP request through its API or
      configuration mechanism to instantiate a P2MP tunnel.  PCE will be
      programmed with the Root and a set of leaf nodes.

   *  PCE will initiate the P2MP Policy for the request, by sending a
      PCInitiate message to the Root.  The PCInitiate message will be
      programmed with a unique Instance-ID for the path-instance (P2MP
      tunnel) within the P2MP Policy.  Note in PCE initiate the
      endpoint-object can be added optionally to the PCInitiate message
      for providing the leaf list to the PCC.

   *  Root in response to the PCInitiate message, will generate PLSP-ID
      for the candidate paths and will use the instantiated Instance-ID
      from the PCE for the Path-Instance (LSP-ID) contained with in the
      candidate path.  The tree-id for the P2MP Policy are filled by the
      PCC root node as well.  PCC will reports back the PLSP-ID and
      tree-id with PCE assigned Instance-ID via PCRpt message

   *  -  Optionally, the Root can add any additional leaves that were
         discovered by multicast procedures in this PCRpt message.

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   *  PCE will send a PCInitiate message to the Root, Transit and the
      Leaf nodes to download the Replication Segment information.  These
      messages will utilize the CCI object to identify the p2mp cross
      connect and encode the forwarding instruction information.

   *  PCE will then send a PCUpdate to the root indicating the
      association information (Candidate path) , and implicitly indicate
      it to bind to the latest CCI information downloaded.

3.3.2.  PCC-Init Procedure

   Root node (PCC) discovers the leaves (as an example via MVPN
   Procedures or other mechanism), the following communication happens
   between the PCE and PCCs

   *  Root sends a PCRpt message for P2MP policy to PCE including the
      Root-ID, Tree-ID, PLSP-ID, symbolic-path-name, and any leaves
      discovered until then.  This PCRpt message also includes a
      association object.  In addition:

   *  -  Since the instance-id is set by the PCE, the root will set the
         instance-id to value to 0 in the RCRpt message

      -  For the association object, root will fill the association type
         according to the association type defined in this draft.  The
         association ID SHOULD be set to value 1 as done in
         [draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp].  The association
         source is set to the Root PCC Address.

   *  PCE on receiving of this report, will generate a Instance-ID for
      this path-instance of the candidate path and compute the P2MP
      Policy and its replication segments.

      -  PCE will send a PCInitiate message to the Root, Transit and the
         Leaf nodes to download the Replication Segment information.
         These messages will utilize the CCI object to encode the
         forwarding instruction information.

      -  PCE will then send a PCUpdate to the root indicating the
         association information (Candidate path) , and implicitly
         indicate it to bind to the latest CCI information downloaded.

3.3.3.  Common Procedure

   The following procedures are the same for PCE or PCC Init.

Bidgoli, et al.         Expires 4 September 2024               [Page 10]
Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   *  PCE will download the replication segments for the Candidate-
      path's path-instances to all the leaves and transit nodes using
      PCInitiate message with the same Instance-ID that was assigned for
      the path-instance on the root, PLSP-ID = 0, symbolic path name,
      Root-address, Tree-id(assigned by the root an obtained via P2MP
      Policy creation).  This PCInitiate message includes the EROs
      needed for the replication segments.  These messages will utilize
      the CCI object to encode the forwarding instruction information.

   *  Any new candidate path for the P2MP Policy is downloaded by PCE to
      the Root by sending a PCInitiate message

      -  it should be noted, PLSP-ID, Path-Instance ID are generated by
         the PCC for these new candidate paths and their Path-instances

      -  Any update to the Candidate Paths or Replication Segments is
         done via the PCUpd message.  Association object need to be
         present for Candidate Path PCUpdate and PCRpt message.  CCI
         object needs to be present the replication segment updates.

   *  The PCE will also download the necessary replication segment for
      the candidate path and its path-instances to the root, leaves and
      the transit nodes via a PCInit message

   *  New leaves can be discovered via Multicast procedures, and new
      replication segments can be instantiated or existing one updated
      to reach these leaves

      -  If these leaves reside on routers that are part of the P2MP LSP
         path, then PCUpd is sent from PCE to necessary PCCs (LEAVES,
         TRANSIT or ROOT) with the correct PLSP-ID, Instance-ID, Tree-ID
         and CC-ID.

      -  If the new leaves are residing on routers that are not part of
         the P2MP Tree yet, then a PCInitiate message is sent from PCE
         to these new leaves with PLSP- ID=0 and Instance-ID that the
         PCE has reserved for that path-instance and end to end P2MP
         tree.

   *  The active candidate-path is indicated by the PCC through the
      operational bits(Up/Active) of the LSP object in the PCRpt
      message.  If a candidate path needs to be removed, PCE sends PC
      Initiate message, setting the R-flag in the LSP object and R bit
      in the SRP-object.

   *  To remove the entire P2MP-LSP, PCE needs to send PCInitiate remove
      messages for every candidate path of the P2MP POLICY to the root
      and send PCInitiate remove messages for every Replication Segment

Bidgoli, et al.         Expires 4 September 2024               [Page 11]
Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

      on all the PCCs on the P2MP Tree.  The R bit in the LSP Object as
      defined in [RFC8231], refers to the removal of the LSP as
      identified by the SR-P2MP-POLICY-ID-TLV (defined in this
      document).  An all zero (SR-P2MP-LSP-ID-TLV defines to remove all
      the state of the corresponding PLSP-ID.

   *  A candidate path is made active based on the preference of the
      path.  If the Root is programed with multiple candidate paths from
      different sources, as an example PCE and CLI, based on its tie-
      breaking rules, if it selects the CLI path, it will send a report
      to PCE for the PCE path indicating the status of label-download
      and sets operational bit of the LSP object to UP and Not Active .
      At any instance, only one path will be active

3.3.4.  Global Optimization of the Candidate Path

   When a P2MP LSP needs to be optimized for any reason (i.e. it is
   taking a FRR tunnel or new routers are added to the network) a global
   optimization of the candidate path is possible.

   Each Candidate Path can contain two Path-Instances.  The current
   unoptimized Path-Instance is the active instance and its replication
   segments are forwarding the multicast PDUs from the root to the
   leaves.  However the second optimized Path-Instance will be setup
   with its own unique replication segments throughout the network, from
   the Root to the leaves.  These two Path-Instances can co-exist.  The
   two Path-Instances are uniquely identified by their Instance-ID in
   the SR-P2MP-POLICY-ID-TLV (defined in this document).  After the
   optimized LSP has been downloaded successfully PCC MUST send two
   reports, reporting UP of the new path indicating the new LSP-ID, and
   a second reporting the tear down of the old path with the R bit of
   the LSP Object SET with the old Instance-ID in the SR-P2MP-POLICY-ID-
   TLV.  This MBB procedure will move the multicast PDUs to the
   optimized Path-Instance.

   The leaf should be able to accept traffic from both Path-Instances to
   minimize the traffic outage by the Make Before Break process.

3.3.5.  local optimizatoin

   When one of the PCCs involved in the LSP lacks the capability to
   support more than one instance, the possibility of achieving global
   MBB (make before break) is compromised.  However, with knowledge of
   the PCCs' advertised capabilities, the PCE can detect this limitation
   and instead opt for local re-optimization of the candidate path.  In
   such cases, the PCE can compute the optimized LSP but send the PCUpd
   message using the existing Instance for candidate path, specifically
   targeting the PCCs where the optimized LSP triggers a change in

   forwarding state.

3.3.6.  Fast Reroute

   Currently this draft identifies the Facility FRR procedures.  In
   addition, only LINK Protection procedures are defined.  How the
   Facility Path is built and instantiated is beyond the scope of this
   document.

           Figure 2

   As an example, in figure 1 both R and T are configured with
   replication segments.  There are two interface between R and T.  One
   can be used as primary and second as a bypass in case the primary
   interface is down.  There can be 2 method to protect the primary
   interface.

   *  The two replication segments on R and T can take advantage of
      unicast SR to connect to each other.  In this case the LFA of
      unicast SR can be utilize to protect the primary interface between
      R and T.

   *  The replication segment provides protection nexthop, the
      protection nexthop can be programmed to take the alternate
      interface between R and T to protect the primary interface.

   As a second example, in figure 2, R and T connected directly and via
   network F1..F2.  In this example as per example 1 unicast SR can be
   used to connect the two replication segments and in this case the
   unicast SR LFA or R-LFA or TI-LFA can be used to protect the direct
   link between R-T via F1.  That said if there is no unicast SR
   available with in the network, the PCE optionally can setup a shared
   replication point on F1 and F2 and protect all path-instances that
   are traversing R-T via this shared replication segment.

   In addition, PHP procedure and implicit null label on the bypass path
   can be implemented to reduce the PCE programming on the MP PCC.

3.3.7.  Connecting Replication Segment via Segment List

   There could be nodes between two replication segment that do not
   support P2MP Policy or Replication segment.  It is possible to
   connect two non-adjacent Replication segments via a unicast segment
   routing path and SID list.  The SID list can be comprised of any IGP
   supported segment types (ex: Binding, Adjacency, Node).  This
   information is encoded via the SR-ERO sub-objects and ERO-attributes
   objects.  The last segment in an encoding SID list MUST be a
   replication segment

3.4.  SR P2MP Policy and Replication Segment TLVs and Objects

3.4.1.  SR P2MP Policy Objects

   SR P2MP Policy can be constructed via the following objects

     <P2mp Policy> ::= <Common Header>
                       <SRP>
                       <P2MP LSP>
                       <association-list>

   optionally a list of end-point can be added.
   This is true weather it is PCC initiated or PCE initiated

                       [<end-point-list>}

3.4.2.  Replication Segment Objects

   Replication segment can be constructed via the following objects:

                              <P2MP LSP>
                              (<cci-list>|
                               (<CCI><intended-path>))
                              <cci-list> ::=  <CCI>
                                              [<cci-list>]
                              <intended-path> ::=
                                     ((<PATH-ATTRIB><ERO>)
                                      [<intended-path>])

   Path-attribute as per [draft-ietf-pce-multipath]

3.4.3.  P2MP Policy and Replication Segment general considerations

   The new objects and TLV's defined in this document can be included in
   PCRpt, PcInitiate and PcUpd messages.

   It should be noted that every PcRpt, PcInitiate and PCUpd messages
   will contain full list of the Leaves and segment and forwarding
   information that is needed to build the Candidate path and its
   Replication segments.  They will never send the delta information
   related to the new leaves or forwarding information that need to be
   added or updated.  This is necessary to ensure that PCE or any new
   PCE is in sync with the PCC.

3.4.3.1.  Path Attribute Object

   This draft uses [draft-ietf-pce-multipath] to identify each out-going
   interface in the replication segment.  In addition each out-going
   interface can be protected by a backup path.  The Path Attributes
   Object is used to provide the relation between the primary path and
   its backup path as per draft [draft-ietf-pce-multipath].

   When a replication segment is being updated or new out-going
   interfaces are added to a specific replication segment, the PCRpt,
   PCInitiate and PCUpd messages sent via PCEP maintains the previous
   ERO Path IDs and generates new Path IDs for new instructions.  The
   PATH IDs are maintained for each specific forwarding instructions
   until the instructions are deleted.  For example: When the first leaf
   is added, the PCE will update with Path ID 1 to the PCC.  When the
   second leaf is added, according to the path calculated, PCE might
   just append the existing instruction Path ID 1 with a new Path ID 2
   to construct the new PCUpd message.

3.4.3.2.  CCI Object

   The CCI Object is used to identify the entire cross connect of
   incoming segment and the set of outgoing Interfaces and their
   corresponding SIDs/SIDList.  Any modification to the cross connect
   should use this CCI ID to identify the cross connect uniquely.
   Leaves and their corresponding Path IDs can be removed from the cross
   connect identified via the CCI.  The CC-ID is assigned by the PCE.

   The Central Control Instructions (CCI) Object used by the PCE to
   specify the controller instructions is defined in [RFC9050].
   [draft-ietf-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr] defines CCI object-
   type for SR-MPLS.  This document reuses the SR-MPLS CCI object-type
   for SR P2MP Policy.

4.  Object Format

4.1.  Open Message Extension

   A PCE does not advertise its P2MP capability during discovery, PCEP
   should be used to allow a PCC to discover, during the Open Message
   Exchange, which PCEs are capable of supporting SR P2MP path
   computation.  To satisfy this requirement, we extend the PCEP OPEN
   object by defining an optional TLV to indicate the PCE's capability
   to perform SR P2MP path computations.  This new TLV is called “SR-
   P2MP-POLICY-CAPABILITY”. The inclusion of this TLV in an OPEN object
   indicates that the sender can perform SR P2MP path computations.  The
   capability TLV is meaningful only for a PCE, so it will typically
   appear only in one of the two Open messages during PCE session
   establishment.  However, in the case of PCE cooperation (e.g., inter-
   domain), when a PCE behaving as a PCC initiates a PCE session.  it
   SHOULD also indicate its path computation capabilities.

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Number of Instances 16 bits - Number of instances the advertising
   PCEP speaker supports.  This is meaningful for PCEs.  PCEs can
   determine the least number of instances that could be created for a
   SR P2MP policy.

   Flags 16 bits

   *  I – Incremental update, indicates the support for Leaf type 1 and
      2.

   *  O – Overwrite, indicates the support for Leaf Type type 5.

   Upon the receipt of an Open message, the receiving PCEP peer MUST
   determine whether the suggested PCEP session characteristics (leaf-
   types) are acceptable.  If the suggested leaf-types are not
   acceptable to the receiving peer, it MUST send an PCEP Error message
   (PCErr) with Error-Type=2 (Capability not supported) and error-value
   X (new error type assigned by IANA incompatible SR P2MP leaf types)
   (See Section 4.5.2 for leaf-types)

4.2.  PCE Capabliity SubTLV

   If a PCEP speaker advertises “SR P2MP Policy Capability” then it MUST
   include the PST = 1 in the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV as per
   [RFC8664]

4.3.  Association Type Capability

   A Assoc-Type-List TLV as per [RFC8697] section 3.4 should be send via
   PCEP open object with following association type

   +-------------------+----------------------------+------------------+
   | Association Type  | Association Name           | Reference        |
   | Value             |                            |                  |
   +-------------------+----------------------------+------------------+
   | TBD1              | P2MP SR Policy Association | This document    |
   +-------------------+----------------------------+------------------+

   OP-CONF-Assoc-RANGE (Operator-configured Association Range)should not
   be set for this association type and must be ignored.

   The open message MUST include the MULTIPATH CAPABILITY TLV as defined
   in [draft-ietf-pce-multipath]

4.4.  Symbolic Name in PCInit Message from PCC

   This document reuses symbolic path name from [RFC8231] section 7.3.2.
   For P2MP Policy a symbolic path is unique for a Candidate Path of the
   P2MP Policy on the PCC.  It is recommended for the symbolic path name
   to be root-id+tree-id+cp discriminator.

4.5.1.  P2MP Policy Association Group for P2MP Policy

   Two ASSOCIATION object types for IPv4 and IPv6 are defined in
   [RFC8697].  The ASSOCIATION object includes "Association type"
   indicating the type of the association group.  This document adds a
   new Association type.  Association type = TBD1 "P2MP SR Policy
   Association Type" for SR Policy Association Group (P2MP SRPAG).

   NOTE: for PCC initiate the Association object is present in the first
   PCRpt message that is send by the PCC to PCE to indicate the
   initiation of the P2MP policy and its candidate path, this first
   PCRpt message does not have a corresponding PCUpdate message but it
   does include the Association object accordingly.

   NOTE: The Association Source should be set to the root address of the
   P2MP tree.

   In par with [draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp] section 4.2,
   P2MP policy reuses the four TLVs used in the SRPA object.  P2MP
   policy also redefines the extended association ID TLV:

   1.  SRPOLICY-POL-NAME TLV: (optional) encodes P2MP SR Policy Name

   2.  SRPOLICY-CPATH-ID TLV: (mandatory) encodes P2MP SR Policy
       Candidate path Identifier

   3.  SRPOLICY-CPATH-NAME TLV: (optional) encodes P2MP SR Policy
       Candidate path name.

   4.  SRPOLICY-CPATH-PREFRENCE TLV: (optional) encodes P2MP SR Policy
       Candidate path preference value.

   5.  In addition to above the extended association ID TLV has been
       modified to address the P2MP Policy

4.5.1.1.  Extended Association ID TLV

   In par with [draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-policy-cp] the Extended
   Association ID TLV MUST be included and it MUST be in the following
   format for the P2MP Policy

   A given P2MP END-POINTS object gathers the leaves of a given type.
   Note that a P2MP report can mix the different types of leaves by
   including several P2MP END-POINTS objects.  The END-POINTS object
   body has a variable length.  These are multiples of 4 bytes for IPv4,
   multiples of 16 bytes, plus 4 bytes, for IPv6.

4.6.  P2MP Policy and Replication Segment Identifier Object and TLV

   As it was mentioned previously both P2MP Policy and Replication
   Segment are identified via the LSP object and more precisely via the
   SR-P2MP-LSPID-TLV

   The P2MP Policy uses the PLSP-ID to identify the Candidate Paths and
   the Instance-ID to identify a Path-Instance with in the Candidate
   path.

   On other hand the Replication Segment uses the SR-P2MP-LSPID-TLV to
   identify and correlate a Replication Segment to a P2MP Policy

   As it was noted previously on the Root, the P2MP Policy and the
   Replication Segment is downloaded via the same PCUpd message.

4.6.1.  Extension of the LSP Object, SR-P2MP-LSPID-TLV

   The LSP Object is defined in Section 7.3 of [RFC8231].  It specifies
   the PLSP-ID to uniquely identify an LSP that is constant for the life
   time of a PCEP session.  Similarly, for a P2MP tunnel, the PLSP-ID
   identify a Candidate Path uniquely with in the P2MP policy.

   The LSP Object MUST include the new SR-P2MP-POLICY-ID-TLV (IPV4/IpV6)
   defined in this document below.  This is a variation to the P2MP
   object defined in [draft-ietf-pce-stateful-pce-p2mp]

   At any given time, only one instance SHOULD be active.  Activating
   one instance entails deactivating all other instances, with the
   condition that the active instance MUST have a non-zero value.

   ‘A’ flag is meaningful for Root PCC and PCEs.  PCE SHOULD be setting
   ‘A’ flag in the PCupd containing SR-P2MP-POLICY-ID TLV for activating
   the instance.  The decision regarding when to set the 'A' flag can be
   made locally on the PCE.  E.g., this decision can be based on factors
   such as receiving PCRpt messages from all PCCs for the new instance
   or utilizing a timer-based approach to ensure that the data plane is
   completely configured on all PCCs.  It's important to note that
   determining the appropriate timing for activating the new instance is
   not within the scope of this document.

   Root PCC MUST set the 'A' flag in the PCRpt as a response to
   receiving a PCupd message with the 'A' flag set.

   If a PCE receives a PCRpt with the 'A' flag set in response to a
   PCUpd message that did not have the 'A' flag set, then PCE MUST treat
   this as an error.  In such a case, PCE MUST send an PCEP Error
   message (PCErr) with Error-Type=10 (Reception of an Invalid Object)
   and error-value ‘X’ (Invalid active instance).

   For transit or leaf PCCs, receipt of a PCUpd message with the 'A'
   flag MUST be treated as an error.  Transit or leaf PCCs MUST send an
   PCEP Error message (PCErr) with Error-Type=19 (Invalid Operation) and
   error-value ‘X’ (Attempted activating instance on Transit or leaf
   PCC).

4.7.  Replication Segment

   As per [draft-ietf-spring-sr-replication-segment] a replication
   segment has a next-hop-group which MAY contain a single outgoing
   replication SID or a list of SIDs (sr-policy-sid-list) In either case
   there needs to be a replication SID identifying the replication state
   on a downstream replication node.  This means two replication
   segments can be directly connected or connected via a unicast SR
   domain.

4.7.1.  The format of the replication segment message

   The format of a Replication Segment message encoding is similar to
   P2MP Policy.  However, the P2MP Policy contains the association
   object and the replication segment message does not contain the
   association object.  In addition the replication segment uses the CCI
   object to identify a P2MP cross connect.  The replication segment is
   downloaded individually to the root, transit and leaf nodes without
   the P2MP Policy.  The P2MP Policy is a Root Concept.  The replication
   segment uses SR-P2MP-LSPID-TLV as its identifier.  The TLV is coded
   differently for shared and non-shared case.

Internet-Draft             PCEP p2mp sr policy                March 2024

   *  In the case of a replication segment being shared, the Tree-ID in
      the SR-P2MP-POLICY Identifier TLV is the replication-id of the
      Replication Segment and Root = 0, Instance-Id = 0.  When
      downloading a shared replication segment from PCE through a
      PCInitiate message, the SR-P2MP-POLICY Identifier TLV is all 0,
      and on the report back from PCC, PCC generates PLSP-ID,
      Replication-id (Tree-id field will be populated with replication-
      id).  Instance-Id will be set to the PCE assigned Instance-Id for
      the path-instance.

4.7.2.  PCECC

   The CCI Object as defined in [RFC9050] is used to identify a
   forwarding instruction in the Replication Segment.  A forwarding
   instruction is incoming SID and a set of outgoing branches.  The CCI
   Object-Type of 1 is used for the MPLS Label.  The label in the CCI
   Object is the incoming SID.  The outgoing SIDs are defined by the ERO
   Objects.

   The CCI Object can be include in Reports, initiate and Update
   messages for Replication Segments.

   The PCInitiate message defined in [RFC8281] and extended in [RFC9050]
   is further extended to support SR-P2MP replication segment based
   central control instructions.

4.7.4.  SR-ERO Rules

   Forwarding information of a replication segment can be configured and
   steered via many different mechanisms.

   As an example a replication SID can be steered via:

   1.  Replication SID steered with an IPv4/IPv6 directly connected
       nexthop

       *  In this case there will two SR-ERO in the ERO Object, with the
          Replication SID SR-ERO at the bottom and the IPv4/IPv6 SR-ERO
          on the top.

   2.  Replication SID steered with an IPv4/IPv6 loopback address that
       reside on the directly connected router.

       *  In this case there will two SR-ERO in the ERO Object, with the
          Replication SID SR-ERO at the bottom and the IPv4/IPv6 SR-ERO
          on the top.

       *  In addition a new flag D is added to the SR-ERO to signal that
          the Loopback nexthop is connected to the directly attached
          router.

   3.  Replication SID steered with unnumbered IPv4/IPv6 directly
       connected Interface

   4.  Replication SID steered via a SR adjacency or node SID

       *  In this case even a sid-list can be used to traffic engineer
          the path between two Replication Segment

       *  The Replication SID SR-ERO is at the bottom while the segments
          describing the path are on top in order.

4.7.4.1.  SR-ERO subobject changes

   SR-ERO from RFC 8664 is used to construct the forwarding information
   needed for Replication Segment.

   A new D flag was added to indicate a loopback nexthop that is
   residing on the directly attached router.  It should be noted that
   this flag should be set only for the loopback case and not for a
   local interface as a nexthop.

   Flags : F, S, C, M are already defined in rfc8664.

   This document defines a new flag D: If the next-hop in NAI field is
   system IP or loopback, this bit indicates whether the system IP /
   loopback is directly connected router or not.  If set indicates
   directly connected address.  When this bit is set, F bit should be 0
   (meaning NAI should be present)

5.  Tree Deletion

   The P2MP policy and its replication segment can be delete by the PCC
   or by the PCE. to delete the P2MP policy all the Candidate paths
   associated to that P2MP policy need to be deleted.  The last
   Candidate path that is being deleted, will delete the P2MP Policy
   Instance as well on the PCE or PCC.

   To delete Candidate paths there are two methods:

   1.  The Candidate paths can be deleted by deleting all the path-
       instances associated with them and the last path-instance that is
       deleted will trigger the Candidate path to be deleted.

   2.  The Candidate path can be deleted entirely and this will delete
       all the associated path-instances for that candidate path as
       well.

   When PCE is deleting a Candidate path or a path instance it should
   delete all the replication segments of that Candidate path or path-
   instance as well before it moved to the next Candidate path or path
   instance.

5.1.  PCC Initiated

   For PCC to delete a Candidate path, Root send a PCRpt message with
   the R bit of the LSP object set and all the fields of the SR-P2MP-
   LSP-ID TLV set to 0(indicating to remove all state and path-instances
   associated with this P2MP tunnel).  The PCE in response sends a
   PCInitiate message with R bit in the SRP object SET to all nodes
   along the path to indicate deletion of the entries.  Note in this
   case the instance-id can be set 0 with the R bit set to indicate
   removing the entire Candidate path and all its path-instances.

   For PCC to delete a path-instance, Root send a PCRpt message with the
   R bit of the LSP object set and all the fields of the SR-P2MP- LSP-ID
   TLV set to 0 but the instance-id value (indicating to remove the
   specific path-instances associated with this P2MP tunnel).  The PCE
   in response sends a PCInitiate message with R bit in the SRP object
   SET to all nodes along the path to indicate deletion of the entries.
   Note in this case the instance-id has to be set accordingly with the
   R bit set to indicate removing the specific path-instances.  This is
   useful for the global optimization case where after downloading the
   optimize path-instance and ensuring the path-instance is operational
   the PCC removed that old path-instance.

5.2.  PCE Initiated

   For PCE to delete the Candidate path or path instance, the above can
   be implemented without the PCC PCRpt message.

6.  Fragmentation

   The Fragmentation bit in the LSP object (F bit) can be used to
   indicate a fragmented PCEP message

7.  Some packet examples

7.1.  Report for Leaf Add

   This is an example of PCC initiated P2MP Policy.  The PCC will send a
   Report message to the PCE to initiat a P2MP Policy with a set of
   leaves that are discovered via Next Generation MVPN procedures as per
   [RFC6513].

   In addition, since the PCC is initiating the P2MP Policy, it does
   populate the PLSP-ID for the candidate path.  PCC will leave the
   instance-id for the Path-Instance to 0 and the instance-id is
   assigned by the PCE.

7.2.  P2MP Policy Candidate path Init

   The following packet is the PCE creating the candidate path for the
   P2MP Policy and downloading the replication segment with the same
   message on the root.

   It should be noted combining the P2MP Policy candidate path creation
   and replication segment only is possible on the root.

   As such this message contains both association object and the CCI
   object.  The CCI Object contains the incoming Binding SID and wraps
   all the Path Attribute messages and their corresponding EROs.

7.3.  Replication segment PCE Initiated on Transit and LEaves

   The following packet examples shows the replication segment
   initiation via a PCE on transit nodes and/or leaves node.

   Note:

   1.  This packet is generated from PCE to instantiate the replication
       segment, as such the PLSP-ID is set to zero.  PCC will assign
       these value and report them back to PCE.

   2.  The instance-id was assigned by the PCE for the entire path-
       instance (P2MP tree)

   3.  This is a replication segment instantiation as such there is no
       association object.

   4.  The LSP Object Root A and Tree-ID Y associates this replication
       segment to the corresponding Candidate path and path instance on
       the root node.

   there is no association object present in the packet.

   Note that on transit / leaf Initiate is with PLSP-ID = 0.  Therefore
   PLSP-ID is locally unique to a node.  It should be noted that the CC-
   ID does not need to be constant across all nodes that make up the
   path.

9.  IANA Consideration

   1.  This draft extends the PCEP OPEN object by defining an optional
       TLV to indicate the PCE's capability to perform SR-P2MP path
       computation.  This new TLV is called "SR-P2MP-POLICY-CAPABILITY",
       with a new IANA capability type (TBD).

   2.  PCEP open object with a new association type " P2MP SR Policy
       Association " value (TBD).

   3.  A new Association type.  Association type = TBD1 "P2MP SR Policy
       Association Type" for SR Policy Association Group (P2MP SRPAG)

       1.  Five new TLVs are identified to carry association
           information: P2MP-SRPOLICY-ID TLV, P2MP-SRPOLICY-NAME TLV,
           P2MP-SRPOLICY-CPATH-ID TLV, P2MP-SRPOLICY-CPATH-PREFRENCE
           TLV, P2MP-SRPOLICY-CPATH-NAME TLV

   4.  Two new TLVs for Identifying the P2MP Policy and the Replication
       segment SR-IPV4-P2MP-POLICY-ID TLV and SR-IPV6-P2MP-POLICY-ID TLV

   5.  A new SR-P2MP-NODE-ROLE TLV (Type To be assigned by IANA) that
       will be present in the PATH-ATTRIB object

10.  Security Considerations

   TBD
