   PCEP Procedures and Protocol Extensions for Using PCE as a Central
                     Controller (PCECC) of SR-LSPs
           draft-zhao-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr-04

Abstract

   The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a core component of Software-
   Defined Networking (SDN) systems.  It can compute optimal paths for
   traffic across a network and can also update the paths to reflect
   changes in the network or traffic demands.

   PCE was developed to derive paths for MPLS Label Switched Paths
   (LSPs), which are supplied to the head end of the LSP using the Path
   Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP).  But SDN has a
   broader applicability than signaled (G)MPLS traffic-engineered (TE)
   networks, and the PCE may be used to determine paths in a range of
   use cases.  PCEP has been proposed as a control protocol for use in
   these environments to allow the PCE to be fully enabled as a central
   controller.

   A PCE-based 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 LSP can be
   calculated/setup/initiated and the label forwarding entries can also
   be downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network
   devices along the path while leveraging the existing PCE technologies
   as much as possible.

   This document specifies the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions
   when a PCE-based controller is also responsible for configuring the
   forwarding actions on the routers, in addition to computing the paths
   for packet flows in a segment routing network and telling the edge
   routers what instructions to attach to packets as they enter the
   network.

1.  Introduction

   The Path Computation Element (PCE) [RFC4655] was developed to offload
   path computation function from routers in an MPLS traffic-engineered
   network.  Since then, the role and function of the PCE has grown to
   cover a number of other uses (such as GMPLS [RFC7025]) and to allow
   delegated control [RFC8231] and PCE-initiated use of network
   resources [RFC8281].

   According to [RFC7399], Software-Defined Networking (SDN) refers to a
   separation between the control elements and the forwarding components
   so that software running in a centralized system, called a

Zhao, et al.             Expires August 9, 2019                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft                  PCECC-SR                   February 2019

   controller, can act to program the devices in the network to behave
   in specific ways.  A required element in an SDN architecture is a
   component that plans how the network resources will be used and how
   the devices will be programmed.  It is possible to view this
   component as performing specific computations to place traffic flows
   within the network given knowledge of the availability of network
   resources, how other forwarding devices are programmed, and the way
   that other flows are routed.  This is the function and purpose of a
   PCE, and the way that a PCE integrates into a wider network control
   system (including an SDN system) is presented in [RFC7491].

   In early PCE implementations, where the PCE was used to derive paths
   for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs), paths were requested by network
   elements (known as Path Computation Clients (PCCs)), and the results
   of the path computations were supplied to network elements using the
   Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440].
   This protocol was later extended to allow a PCE to send unsolicited
   requests to the network for LSP establishment [RFC8281].

   [RFC8283] introduces the architecture for PCE as a central controller
   as an extension of the architecture described in [RFC4655] and
   assumes the continued use of PCEP as the protocol used between PCE
   and PCC.  [RFC8283] further examines the motivations and
   applicability for PCEP as a Southbound Interface (SBI), and
   introduces the implications for the protocol.
   [I-D.ietf-teas-pcecc-use-cases] describes the use cases for the PCECC
   architecture.

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] specify the
   procedures and PCEP protocol extensions for using the PCE as the
   central controller for static LSPs, where LSPs can be provisioned as
   explicit label instructions at each hop on the end-to-end path.

   Segment Routing (SR) technology leverages the source routing and
   tunneling paradigms.  A source node can choose a path without relying
   on hop-by-hop signaling protocols such as LDP or RSVP-TE.  Each path
   is specified as a set of "segments" advertised by link-state routing
   protocols (IS-IS or OSPF).  [RFC8402] provides an introduction to SR
   architecture.  The corresponding IS-IS and OSPF extensions are
   specified in [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions] and
   [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions] , respectively.  It relies
   on a series of forwarding instructions being placed in the header of
   a packet.  The segment routing architecture supports operations that
   can be used to steer packet flows in a network, thus providing a form
   of traffic engineering.  [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] specify the
   SR specific PCEP extensions.

   PCECC may further use PCEP protocol for SR SID (Segment Identifier)
   distribution on the SR nodes with some benefits.

   This document specifies the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions
   when a PCE-based controller is also responsible for configuring the
   forwarding actions on the routers (SR SID distribution in this case),
   in addition to computing the paths for packet flows in a segment
   routing network and telling the edge routers what instructions to
   attach to packets as they enter the network.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Terminology

   Terminologies used in this document is same as described in the draft
   [RFC8283] and [I-D.ietf-teas-pcecc-use-cases].

3.  PCECC SR

   [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] specifies extensions to PCEP that
   allow a stateful PCE to compute, update or initiate SR-TE paths.  An
   ingress node of an SR-TE path appends all outgoing packets with a
   list of MPLS labels (SIDs).  This is encoded in SR-ERO subobject,
   capable of carrying a label (SID) as well as the identity of the
   node/adjacency label (SID).

   The notion of segment and SID is defined in [RFC8402], which fits the
   MPLS architecture [RFC3031] as the label which is managed by a local
   allocation process of LSR (similarly to other MPLS signaling
   protocols) [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls].  The SR
   information such as node/adjacency label (SID) is flooded via IGP as
   specified in [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions] and
   [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions].

   As per [RFC8283], PCE as a central controller can allocate and
   provision the node/prefix/adjacency label (SID) via PCEP.

   Rest of the processing is similar to existing stateful PCE with SR
   mechanism.

   For the purpose of this document, it is assumed that label range to
   be used by a PCE is set on both PCEP peers.  Further, a global label

Zhao, et al.             Expires August 9, 2019                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft                  PCECC-SR                   February 2019

   range is assumed to be set on all PCEP peers in the SR domain.  This
   document also allow a case where the label space is maintained by PCC
   itself, and the labels are allocated by the PCC, in this case, the
   PCE should request the allocation from PCC as described in
   Section 5.5.1.6.

4.  PCEP Requirements

   Following key requirements for PCECC-SR should be considered when`
   designing the PCECC based solution:

   o  PCEP speaker supporting this draft MUST have the capability to
      advertise its PCECC-SR capability to its peers.

   o  PCEP speaker not supporting this draft MUST be able to reject
      PCECC-SR related message with a reason code that indicates no
      support for PCECC.

   o  PCEP procedures MUST provide a means to update (or cleanup) the
      label- map entry to the PCC.

   o  PCEP procedures SHOULD provide a means to synchronize the SR
      labels allocations between PCE to PCC in the PCEP messages.

5.  Procedures for Using the PCE as the Central Controller (PCECC) in
    Segment Routing

5.1.  Stateful PCE Model

   Active stateful PCE is described in [RFC8231].  PCE as a central
   controller (PCECC) reuses existing Active stateful PCE mechanism as
   much as possible to control the LSP.

5.2.  New LSP Functions

   This document uses the same PCEP messages and its extensions which
   are described in [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] for
   PCECC-SR as well.

   PCEP messages PCRpt, PCInitiate, PCUpd are also used to send LSP
   Reports, LSP setup and LSP update respectively.  The extended
   PCInitiate message described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] is used to download
   or cleanup central controller's instructions (CCIs) (SR SID in scope
   of this document).  The extended PCRpt message described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] is also used to
   report the CCIs (SR SIDs) from PCC to PCE.

Zhao, et al.             Expires August 9, 2019                 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft                  PCECC-SR                   February 2019

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] specify an object
   called CCI for the encoding of central controller's instructions.
   This document extends the CCI by defining a new object-type for
   segment routing.  The PCEP messages are extended in this document to
   handle the PCECC operations for SR.

5.3.  PCECC Capability Advertisement

   During PCEP Initialization Phase, PCEP Speakers (PCE or PCC)
   advertise their support of PCECC extensions.  A PCEP Speaker includes
   the "PCECC Capability" sub-TLV, described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].

   A new S-bit is added in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV to indicate support
   for PCECC-SR.  A PCC MUST set S-bit in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV and
   include SR-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV ([I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing]) in
   OPEN Object (inside the the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV) to
   support the PCECC SR extensions defined in this document.  If S-bit
   is set in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV and SR-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV is
   not advertised in OPEN Object, PCE SHOULD send a PCErr message with
   Error-Type=19 (Invalid Operation) and Error-value=TBD(SR capability
   was not advertised) and terminate the session.

5.4.  PCEP session IP address and TEDB Router ID

   PCE may construct its TEDB by participating in the IGP ([RFC3630] and
   [RFC5305] for MPLS-TE; [RFC4203] and [RFC5307] for GMPLS).  An
   alternative is offered by BGP-LS [RFC7752] and
   [I-D.dhodylee-pce-pcep-ls].

   PCEP [RFC5440] speaker MAY use any IP address while creating a TCP
   session.  It is important to link the session IP address with the
   Router ID in TEDB for successful PCECC operations.

   During PCEP Initialization Phase, PCC SHOULD advertise the TE mapping
   information.  Thus a PCC includes the "Node Attributes TLV"
   [I-D.dhodylee-pce-pcep-ls] with "IPv4/IPv6 Router-ID of Local Node",
   in the OPEN Object for this purpose.  [RFC7752] describes the usage
   as auxiliary Router-IDs that the IGP might be using, e.g., for TE
   purposes.  If there are more than one auxiliary Router-ID of a given
   type, then multiple TLVs are used to encode them.

   If "IPv4/IPv6 Router-ID" TLV is not present, the TCP session IP
   address is directly used for the mapping purpose.

5.5.  LSP Operations

   The PCEP messages pertaining to PCECC-SR MUST include PATH-SETUP-TYPE
   TLV [RFC8408] with PST=TBD in the SRP object to clearly identify the
   PCECC-SR LSP is intended.

5.5.1.  PCECC Segment Routing (SR)

   Segment Routing (SR) as described in [RFC8402] depends on "segments"
   that are advertised by Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs).  The SR-
   node allocates and advertises the SID (node, adj etc) and flood via
   the IGP.  This document proposes a new mechanism where PCE allocates
   the SID (label/index/SID) centrally and uses PCEP to advertise the
   SID.  In some deployments PCE (and PCEP) are better suited than IGP
   because of centralized nature of PCE and direct TCP based PCEP
   session to the node.

5.5.1.1.  PCECC SR Node/Prefix SID allocation

   Each node (PCC) is allocated a node-SID by the PCECC.  The PCECC
   sends PCInitiate message to update the label map of each node to all
   the nodes in the domain.  The TE router ID is determined from the
   TEDB or from "IPv4/IPv6 Router-ID" Sub-TLV
   [I-D.dhodylee-pce-pcep-ls], in the OPEN Object Section 5.4.

   It is RECOMMENDED that PCEP session with PCECC SR capability to use a
   different session IP address during TCP session establishment than
   the node Router ID in TEDB, to make sure that the PCEP session does
   not get impacted by the SR Node/Prefix Label maps (Section 5.4).

   If a node (PCC) receives a PCInitiate message with a CCI encoding a
   SID, out of the range set aside for the SRGB, it MUST send a PCErr
   message with Error-type=TBD (PCECC failure) and Error-value=TBD (SID
   out of range) and MUST include the SRP object to specify the error is
   for the corresponding label update via PCInitiate message.

   On receiving the label map, each node (PCC) uses the local
   information to determine the next-hop and download the label
   forwarding instructions accordingly.  The PCInitiate message in this
   case MUST NOT have LSP object but uses the new FEC object defined in
   this document.

   The forwarding behavior and the end result is similar to IGP based
   "Node-SID" in SR.  Thus, from anywhere in the domain, it enforces the
   ECMP-aware shortest-path forwarding of the packet towards the related
   node.

   PCE relies on the Node/Prefix Label cleanup using the same PCInitiate
   message.

   The above example Figure 1 depict FEC and PCEP speakers that uses
   IPv4 address.  Similarly IPv6 address (such as 2001:DB8::1) can be
   used during PCEP session establishment as well in FEC object as
   described in this specification.

   In case where the label allocation are made by the PCC itself (see
   Section 5.5.1.6), the PCE could still request an allocation to be
   made by the PCC, and where the PCC would send a PCRpt with the
   allocated label encoded in the CC-ID object as shown below -

        |       |       |                                   |

   It should be noted that in this example, the request is made to the
   node 192.0.2.1 with C bit set in the CCI object to indicate that the
   allocation needs to be done by this PCC and it responds with the
   allocated label/SID to the PCE.  The PCE would further inform the
   other PCCs in the network about the allocation without setting the C
   bit.

5.5.1.2.  PCECC SR Adjacency Label allocation

   [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] extends PCEP to allow a stateful PCE
   to compute and initiate SR-TE paths, as well as a PCC to request a
   path subject to certain constraint(s) and optimization criteria in SR
   networks.

   For PCECC SR, apart from node-SID, Adj-SID is used where each
   adjacency is allocated an Adj-SID by the PCECC.  The PCECC sends
   PCInitiate message to update the label map of each Adj to the
   corresponding nodes in the domain.  Each node (PCC) download the
   label forwarding instructions accordingly.  Similar to SR Node/Prefix
   Label allocation, the PCInitiate message in this case MUST NOT have
   LSP object but uses the new FEC object defined in this document.

   The forwarding behavior and the end result is similar to IGP based
   "Adj-SID" in SR.

   The Path Setup Type for segment routing MUST be set for PCECC SR =
   TBD (see Section 7.2).  All PCEP procedures and mechanism are similar
   to [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing].

   PCE relies on the Adj label cleanup using the same PCInitiate
   message.

   The above example Figure 3 depict FEC and PCEP speakers that uses
   IPv4 address.  Similarly IPv6 address (such as 2001:DB8::1,
   2001:DB8::2) can be used during PCEP session establishment as well in
   FEC object as described in this specification.

          |        |      |                                 |

   In this example the request is made to the node 192.0.2.1 with C bit
   set in the CCI object to indicate that the allocation needs to be
   done by this PCC for the adjacency (198.51.100.1 - 198.51.100.2) and
   it responds with the allocated label/SID to the PCE.  Similarly,
   another request is made to the node 192.0.2.2 with C bit set in the
   CCI object to indicate that the allocation needs to be done by this
   PCC for the adjacency (198.51.100.2 - 198.51.100.1).

5.5.1.3.  Redundant PCEs

   [I-D.litkowski-pce-state-sync] describes synchronization mechanism
   between the stateful PCEs.  The SR SIDs allocated by a PCE MUST also
   be synchronized among PCEs for PCECC SR state synchronization.  Note
   that the SR SIDs are independent to the PCECC-SR LSP, and remains
   intact till any topology change.  The redundant PCEs MUST have a
   common view of all SR SIDs allocated in the domain.

5.5.1.4.  Re Delegation and Cleanup

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] describes the action
   needed for CCIs for the Basic PCECC LSP on this terminated session.
   Similarly actions should be applied for the SR SID as well.

5.5.1.5.  Synchronization of Label Allocations

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] describes the
   synchronization of Central Controller's Instructions (CCI) via LSP
   state synchronization as described in [RFC8231] and [RFC8232].  Same
   procedures should be applied for SR SIDs as well.

5.5.1.6.  PCC Based Allocations

   The PCE can request the PCC to allocate the label/SID using the
   PCInitiate message.  The C flag in the CCI object is set to 1 to
   indicate that the allocation needs to be done by the PCC.  The PCC
   would allocate the SID/Label/Index and would report to the PCE using
   the PCRpt message.

   If the value of the SID/Label/Index is 0 and the C flag is set, it
   indicates that the PCE is requesting the allocation to be done by the
   PCC.  If the SID/Label/Index is 'n' and the C flag is set in the CCI
   object, it indicates that the PCE requests a specific value 'n' for
   the SID/Label/Index.  If the allocation is successful, the PCC should
   report via PCRpt message with the CCI object.  Else, it MUST send a
   PCErr message with Error-Type = TBD ("PCECC failure") and Error Value
   = TBD ("Invalid CCI").  If the value of the the SID/Label/Index in
   the CCI object is valid, but the PCC is unable to allocate it, it
   MUST send a PCErr message with Error-Type = TBD ("PCECC failure") and
   Error Value = TBD ("Unable to allocate the specified CCI").

   If the PCC wishes to withdrawn or modify the previously assigned
   label/SID, it MUST send a PCRpt message without any SID/Label/Index
   or with the SID/Label/Index containing the new value respectively in
   the CCI object.  The PCE would further trigger the removal of the
   central controller instruction as per this document.

5.5.1.7.  Binding SID

   A PCE as a central controller can allocate and provision the
   node/prefix/adjacency label (SID) via PCEP.  One such SID is binding
   SID as described in [I-D.sivabalan-pce-binding-label-sid], the PCECC
   mechanism can also be used to allocate the binding SID as described
   in this section.

   A procedure for binding label/SID allocation is described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] and is applicable
   for all path setup types (including SR paths).

6.  PCEP messages

   As defined in [RFC5440], a PCEP message consists of a common header
   followed by a variable-length body made of a set of objects that can
   be either mandatory or optional.  An object is said to be mandatory
   in a PCEP message when the object must be included for the message to
   be considered valid.  For each PCEP message type, a set of rules is
   defined that specify the set of objects that the message can carry.
   An implementation MUST form the PCEP messages using the object
   ordering specified in this document.

6.1.  Central Control Instructions

6.1.1.  The PCInitiate message

   The PCInitiate Message defined in [RFC8281] and extended in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] is further extended
   to support SR based central control instructions.

   The format of the extended PCInitiate message is as follows:

Zhao, et al.             Expires August 9, 2019                [Page 14]

        <PCInitiate Message> ::= <Common Header>
                                 <PCE-initiated-lsp-list>
     Where:
        <Common Header> is defined in [RFC5440]

        <PCE-initiated-lsp-list> ::= <PCE-initiated-lsp-request>
                                     [<PCE-initiated-lsp-list>]

        <PCE-initiated-lsp-request> ::=
                             (<PCE-initiated-lsp-instantiation>|
                              <PCE-initiated-lsp-deletion>|
                              <PCE-initiated-lsp-central-control>)

        <PCE-initiated-lsp-central-control> ::= <SRP>
                                                (<LSP>
                                                <cci-list>)|
                                                (<FEC>
                                                <CCI>)

        <cci-list> ::=  <CCI>
                        [<cci-list>]

     Where:
         <PCE-initiated-lsp-instantiation> and
         <PCE-initiated-lsp-deletion> are as per
         [RFC8281].

        The LSP and SRP object is defined in [RFC8231].

   When PCInitiate message is used to distribute SR SIDs, the SRP, FEC
   and CCI objects MUST be present.  The error handling for missing SRP
   or CCI object is as per
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].  If the FEC object
   is missing, the receiving PCC MUST send a PCErr message with Error-
   type=6 (Mandatory Object missing) and Error-value=TBD (FEC object
   missing).

   To cleanup the SRP object must set the R (remove) bit.

6.1.2.  The PCRpt message

   The PCRpt message can be used to report the SR instructions received
   from the central controller (PCE) during the state synchronization
   phase.

   The format of the PCRpt message is as follows:

7.  PCEP Objects

7.1.  OPEN Object

7.1.1.  PCECC Capability sub-TLV

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] defined the PCECC-
   CAPABILITY TLV.

   A new S-bit is defined in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV for PCECC-SR:

   S (PCECC-SR-CAPABILITY - 1 bit): If set to 1 by a PCEP speaker, it
   indicates that the PCEP speaker is capable for PCECC-SR capability
   and PCE would allocate node and Adj label on this session.

7.2.  PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV

   The PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV is defined in [RFC8408].  PST = TBD is used
   when Path is setup via PCECC SR mode.

   On a PCRpt/PCUpd/PCInitiate message, the PST=TBD indicates that this
   LSP was setup via a PCECC-SR based mechanism where either the SIDs
   were allocated/instructed by PCE via PCECC mechanism.

7.3.  CCI Object

   The Central Control Instructions (CCI) Object is used by the PCE to
   specify the forwarding instructions is defined in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].  This document
   defines another object-type for SR purpose.

   CCI Object-Type is TBD for SR as below -

   The field CC-ID is as described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].  Following new
   fields are defined for CCI Object-Type TBD -

   MT-ID:  Multi-Topology ID (as defined in [RFC4915]).

   Algorithm:  Single octet identifying the algorithm the SID is
      associated with.  See [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions].

   Flags:  is used to carry any additional information pertaining to the
      CCI.  The O bit was defined in
      [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller], this document
      further defines following bits-

      *  L-Bit (Local/Global): If set, then the value/index carried by
         the CCI object has local significance.  If not set, then the
         value/index carried by this object has global significance.

      *  V-Bit (Value/Index): If set, then the CCI carries an absolute
         value.  If not set, then the CCI carries an index.

      *  E-Bit (Explicit-Null): If set, any upstream neighbor of the
         node that advertised the SID MUST replace the SID with the
         Explicit-NULL label (0 for IPv4) before forwarding the packet.

      *  N-Bit (No-PHP): If set, then the penultimate hop MUST NOT pop
         the SID before delivering packets to the node that advertised
         the SID.

      *  C-Bit (PCC Allocation): If the bit is set to 1, it indicates
         that the allocation needs to be done by the PCC for this
         central controller instruction.  A PCE set this bit to request
         the PCC to make an allocation from its SR label/ID space.  A
         PCC would set this bit to indicate that it has allocated the
         CC-ID and report it to the PCE.

   SID/Label/Index:  According to the V and L flags, it contains either:

         A 32-bit index defining the offset in the SID/Label space
         advertised by this router.

         A 24-bit label where the 20 rightmost bits are used for
         encoding the label value.

8.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] apply to the
   extensions described in this document.

Zhao, et al.             Expires August 9, 2019                [Page 20]
Internet-Draft                  PCECC-SR                   February 2019

9.  Manageability Considerations

9.1.  Control of Function and Policy

   A PCE or PCC implementation SHOULD allow to configure to enable/
   disable PCECC SR capability as a global configuration.

9.2.  Information and Data Models

   [RFC7420] describes the PCEP MIB, this MIB can be extended to get the
   PCECC SR capability status.

   The PCEP YANG module [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-yang] could be extended to
   enable/disable PCECC SR capability.

9.3.  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].

9.4.  Verify Correct Operations

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new operation
   verification requirements in addition to those already listed in
   [RFC5440] and [RFC8231].

9.5.  Requirements On Other Protocols

   PCEP extensions defined in this document do not put new requirements
   on other protocols.

9.6.  Impact On Network Operations

   PCEP implementation SHOULD allow a limit to be placed on the rate of
   PCLabelUpd messages sent by PCE and processed by PCC.  It SHOULD also
   allow sending a notification when a rate threshold is reached.

10.  IANA Considerations

10.1.  PCECC-CAPABILITY TLV

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] defines the PCECC-
   CAPABILITY TLV and requests that IANA creates a registry to manage
   the value of the PCECC-CAPABILITY TLV's Flag field.  IANA is
   requested to allocate a new bit in the PCECC-CAPABILITY TLV Flag
   Field registry, as follows:

10.2.  New Path Setup Type Registry

   IANA is requested to allocate new PST Field in PATH- SETUP-TYPE TLV.
   The allocation policy for this new registry should be by IETF
   Consensus.  The new registry should contain the following value:

         Value          Description                 Reference
         TBD            Traffic engineering path is This document
                        setup using PCECC-SR mode

10.3.  PCEP Object

   IANA is requested to allocate new registry for FEC PCEP object.

       Object-Class Value Name                  Reference
       TBD                FEC                   This document

                          Object-Type : 2       IPv6 Node ID
                          Object-Type : 3       IPv4 Adjacency
                          Object-Type : 4       IPv6 Adjacency
                          Object-Type : 5       Unnumbered Adjacency
                                                with IPv4 NodeID

10.4.  PCEP-Error Object

   IANA is requested to allocate new error types and error values within
   the "PCEP-ERROR Object Error Types and Values" sub-registry of the
   PCEP Numbers registry for the following errors:

   Error-Type   Meaning
   ----------   -------
   6            Mandatory Object missing.

                 Error-value = TBD :                 FEC object missing
   19           Invalid operation.

                 Error-value = TBD :                 SR capability was
                                                     not advertised
