Extensions to Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) for
handling Link Bandwidth Utilization
draft-wu-pce-pcep-link-bw-utilization-02
Abstract
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests.
Link bandwidth utilization considering the total bandwidth of a link
in current use for the forwarding is an important factor to consider
during path computation. This document describes extensions to PCEP
to consider them as new constraints during path computation.

Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
1. Introduction
Real time link bandwidth utilization is becoming critical in the path
computation in some networks. It is important that link bandwidth
utilization is factored in during path computation. PCC can request
a PCE to provide a path such that it selects under-utilized links.
This document extends PCEP [RFC5440] for this purpose.
Traffic Engineering Database (TED) as populated by Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) contains Maximum bandwidth, Maximum reservable
bandwidth and Unreserved bandwidth ([RFC3630] and [RFC3784]).
[OSPF-TE-EXPRESS] and [ISIS-TE-EXPRESS] further populate Residual
bandwidth, Available bandwidth and Utilized bandwidth.
The links in the path MAY be monitored for changes in the link
bandwidth utilization, re-optimization of such path MAY be further
requested.
1.1. Requirements Language
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].
2. Terminology
The following terminology is used in this document.
IGP: Interior Gateway Protocol. Either of the two routing
protocols, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) or Intermediate System
to Intermediate System (IS-IS).
PCC: Path Computation Client: any client application requesting a
path computation to be performed by a Path Computation Element.
PCE: Path Computation Element. An entity (component, application,
or network node) that is capable of computing a network path or
route based on a network graph and applying computational
constraints.
PCEP: Path Computation Element Protocol.
RSVP: Resource Reservation Protocol
TE LSP: Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path.

Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
3. Link Bandwidth Utilization (LBU)
The bandwidth utilization on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled
link is populated in the TED (Utilized Bandwidth in [OSPF-TE-EXPRESS]
and [ISIS-TE-EXPRESS]). For a link or forwarding adjacency,
bandwidth utilization represent the actual utilization of the link
(i.e.: as measured in the router). For a bundled link, bandwidth
utilization is defined to be the sum of the component link bandwidth
utilization. This includes traffic for both RSVP and non-RSVP.
LBU Percentage is described as the (LBU / Maximum bandwidth) * 100.
4. Link Reserved Bandwidth Utilization (LRBU)
The reserved bandwidth utilization on a link, forwarding adjacency,
or bundled link can be calculated from the TED. This includes
traffic for only RSVP-TE LSPs.
LRBU can be calculated by using the Residual bandwidth, Available
bandwidth and LBU. The actual bandwidth by non-RSVP TE traffic can
be calculated by subtracting Available Bandwidth from Residual
Bandwidth. Once we have the actual bandwidth for non-RSVP TE
traffic, subtracting this from LBU would result in LRBU.
LRBU Percentage is described as the (LRBU / (Maximum reservable
bandwidth)) * 100.
5. PCEP Requirements
Following requirements associated with bandwidth utilization are
identified for PCEP:
1. PCE supporting this draft MUST have the capability to compute
end-to-end path with bandwidth utilization constraints. It MUST
also support the combination of bandwidth utilization constraint
with existing constraints (cost, hop-limit...).
2. PCC MUST be able to request for bandwidth utilization constraint
in PCReq message as the boundary condition that should not be
crossed for each link in the path.
3. PCC MUST be able to request for bandwidth utilization constraint
in PCReq message as an Objective function (OF) [RFC5541] to be
optimized.
4. PCEs are not required to support bandwidth utilization
constraint. Therefore, it MUST be possible for a PCE to reject a
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
PCReq message with a reason code that indicates no support for
bandwidth utilization constraint.
5. PCEP SHOULD provide mechanism to handle bandwidth utilization
constraint in multi-domain (e.g., Inter-AS, Inter-Area or Multi-
Layer) environment.
6. PCEP Extensions
This section defines extensions to PCEP [RFC5440] for requirements
outlined in Section 5. The proposed solution is used to consider
bandwidth utilization during path computation.
6.1. BU Object
The BU (Bandwidth Utilization) is used to indicate the upper limit of
the acceptable link bandwidth utilization percentage.
The BU object may be carried within the PCReq message and PCRep
messages.
BU Object-Class is TBD.
BU Object-Type is 1.
The format of the BU object body is as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Reserved | Type |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Bandwidth Utilization |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
BU Object Body Format
Reserved (24 bits): This field MUST be set to zero on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Type (8 bits): Represents the bandwidth utilization type. Link
Bandwidth Utilization (LBU) Type is 1 and Link Reserved Bandwidth
Utilization (LRBU) Type is 2.
Bandwidth utilization (32 bits): Represents the bandwidth
utilization quantified as a percentage (as described in Section 3
and Section 4). The basic unit is 0.000000023%, with the maximum
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
value 4,294,967,295 representing 98.784247785% (4,294,967,295 *
0.000000023%). This value is the maximum Bandwidth utilization
percentage that can be expressed.
The BU object body has a fixed length of 8 bytes.
6.1.1. Elements of Procedure
PCC SHOULD request the PCE to factor in the bandwidth utilization
during path computation by including a BU object in the PCReq
message.
Multiple BU objects MAY be inserted in a PCReq or a PCRep message for
a given request but there MUST be at most one instance of the BU
object for each type. If, for a given request, two or more instances
of a BU object with the same type are present, only the first
instance MUST be considered and other instances MUST be ignored.
BU object MAY be carried in a PCRep message in case of unsuccessful
path computation along with a NO-PATH object to indicate the
constraints that could not be satisfied.
If the P bit is clear in the object header and PCE does not
understand or does not support bandwidth utilization during path
computation it SHOULD simply ignore BU object.
If the P Bit is set in the object header and PCE receives BU object
in path request and it understands the BU object, but the PCE is not
capable of bandwidth utilization check during path computation, the
PCE MUST send a PCErr message with a PCEP-ERROR Object Error-Type = 4
(Not supported object) [RFC5440]. The path computation request MUST
then be cancelled.
If the PCE does not understand the BU object, then the PCE MUST send
a PCErr message with a PCEP-ERROR Object Error-Type = 3 (Unknown
object) [RFC5440].
6.2. New Objective Functions
This document defines two additional objective functions -- namely,
MUP (Maximum Under-Utilized Path) and MRUP (Maximum Reserved Under-
Utilized Path. Hence two new objective function codes have to be
defined.
Objective functions are formulated using the following terminology:
o A network comprises a set of N links {Li, (i=1...N)}.
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
o A path P is a list of K links {Lpi,(i=1...K)}.
o Bandwidth Utilization on link L is denoted u(L).
o Reserved Bandwidth Utilization on link L is denoted ru(L).
o Maximum bandwidth on link L is denoted M(L).
o Maximum Reserved bandwidth on link L is denoted R(L).
The description of the two new objective functions is as follows.
Objective Function Code: TBD
Name: Maximum Under-Utilized Path (MUP)
Description: Find a path P such that (Min {(M(Lpi)- u(Lpi)) /
M(Lpi), i=1...K } ) is maximized.
Objective Function Code: TBD
Name: Maximum Reserved Under-Utilized Path (MRUP)
Description: Find a path P such that (Min {(R(Lpi)- ru(Lpi)) /
R(Lpi), i=1...K } ) is maximized.
These new objective function are used to optimize paths based on
bandwidth utilization as the optimization criteria.
If the objective function defined in this document are unknown/
unsupported, the procedure as defined in [RFC5541] is followed.
6.3. PCEP Message Extension
6.3.1. The PCReq message
The new optional BU objects MAY be specified in the PCReq message.
As per [RFC5541], an OF object specifying a new objective function
MAY also be specified.
The format of the PCReq message (with [RFC5541] as a base) is updated
as follows:
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
<PCReq Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<svec-list>]
<request-list>
where:
<svec-list> ::= <SVEC>

[<RRO>[<BANDWIDTH>]]
[<IRO>]
[<LOAD-BALANCING>]
and where:
<bu-list>::=<BU>[<bu-list>]
<metric-list> ::= <METRIC>[<metric-list>]
6.3.2. The PCRep message
The BU objects MAY be specified in the PCRep message, in case of an
unsuccessful path computation to indicate the bandwidth utilization
as a reason for failure. The OF object MAY be carried within a PCRep
message to indicate the objective function used by the PCE during
path computation.
The format of the PCRep message (with [RFC5541] as a base) is updated
as follows:
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 8]

[<BANDWIDTH>]
[<bu-list>]
[<metric-list>]
[<IRO>]
<bu-list>::=<BU>[<bu-list>]
<metric-list> ::= <METRIC> [<metric-list>]
7. Other Considerations
7.1. Reoptimization Consideration
PCC can monitor the link bandwidth utilization of the setup LSPs
(change in TED bandwidth parameters of one or more links in the path)
and in case of drastic change, it MAY ask PCE for reoptimization as
per [RFC5440].
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
7.2. Inter-domain Consideration
[RFC5441] describes the Backward-Recursive PCE-Based Computation
(BRPC) procedure to compute end to end optimized inter-domain path by
cooperating PCEs. The new BU object defined in this document can be
applied to end to end path computation, in similar manner as existing
METRIC object.
All domains should have the same understanding of the BU object for
end-to-end inter-domain path computation to make sense.
7.2.1. Inter-AS Link
The IGP in each neighbor domain can advertise its inter-domain TE
link capabilities, this has been described in [RFC5316] (ISIS) and
[RFC5392] (OSPF). The bandwidth related network performance link
properties are described in [OSPF-TE-EXPRESS] and [ISIS-TE-EXPRESS],
the same properties must be advertised using the mechanism described
in [RFC5392] (OSPF) and [RFC5316] (ISIS).
7.3. P2MP Consideration
TBD
7.4. Stateful PCE
[STATEFUL-PCE] specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to enable
stateful control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS LSPs via PCEP and maintaining
of these LSPs at the stateful PCE. It further distinguishes between
an active and a passive stateful PCE. A passive stateful PCE uses
LSP state information learned from PCCs to optimize path computations
but does not actively update LSP state. In contrast, an active
stateful PCE utilizes the delegation mechanism to let PCCs relinquish
control over some LSPs to the PCE.
The passive stateful PCE implementation MAY use the extension of
PCReq and PCRep messages as defined in Section 6.3.1 and
Section 6.3.2 to enable the use of BU object.
The additional objective functions defined in this document can also
be used with stateful PCE.
7.4.1. PCEP Message Extension
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
7.4.1.1. The PCRpt message
A Path Computation LSP State Report message (also referred to as
PCRpt message) is a PCEP message sent by a PCC to a PCE to report the
current state or delegate control of an LSP. The PCRpt message is
extended to support BU object (to optionally specify the boundary
condition that should not be crossed).
As per [STATEFUL-PCE], the format of the PCRpt message is as follows:
<PCRpt Message> ::= <Common Header>
<state-report-list>
where:
<state-report-list> ::= <state-report> [<state-report-list>]
<state-repor> ::= [<SRP>]
<LSP>
<path>
<path> ::= <ERO><attribute-list>[<RRO>]
Where <attribute-list> is extended as per Section 6.3.2.
Thus the BU object can be used to specify the boundary condition set
at the PCC at the time of delegation to active stateful PCE.
8. IANA Considerations
IANA assigns values to PCEP parameters in registries defined in
[RFC5440]. IANA has made the following additional assignments.
8.1. New PCEP Object
IANA assigned a new object class in the registry of PCEP Objects as
follows.
Object Object Name Reference
Class Type
--------------------------------------------------
TBD 1 BU [This I.D.]
8.2. BU Object
IANA created a registry to manage the codespace of the Type field of
the METRIC Object.

8.3. Objective Functions
Two new Objective Functions have been defined. IANA has made the
following allocations from the PCEP "Objective Function" sub-
registry:
Code Name Reference
Point
--------------------------------------------------
TBA Maximum Under-Utilized [This I.D.]
Path (MUP)
TBA Maximum Reserved [This I.D.]
Under-Utilized Path (MRUP)
9. Security Considerations
This document defines a new BU object and OF codes which does not add
any new security concerns beyond those discussed in [RFC5440].
10. Manageability Considerations
10.1. Control of Function and Policy
The only configurable item is the support of the new constraints on a
PCE which MAY be controlled by a policy module. If the new
constraints are not supported/allowed on a PCE, it MUST send a PCErr
message as specified in Section 6.1.1.
10.2. Information and Data Models
[PCEP-MIB] describes the PCEP MIB, there are no new MIB Objects for
this document.
10.3. Liveness Detection and Monitoring
Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness
detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already
listed in [RFC5440].
Wu, et al. Expires August 11, 2014 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft TE Link BW Utilization February 2014
10.4. Verify Correct Operations
Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new operation
verification requirements in addition to those already listed in
[RFC5440].
10.5. Requirements On Other Protocols
PCE requires the TED to be populated with the bandwidth utilization.
This mechanism is described in [OSPF-TE-EXPRESS] or
[ISIS-TE-EXPRESS].
10.6. Impact On Network Operations
Mechanisms defined in this document do not have any impact on network
operations in addition to those already listed in [RFC5440].
