Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for
PCE-Initiated LSP Setup in a Stateful PCE Model
Abstract
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
computations in response to Path Computation Client (PCC) requests.
The extensions for stateful PCE provide active control of
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering Label
Switched Paths (TE LSPs) via PCEP, for a model where the PCC
delegates control over one or more locally configured LSPs to the
PCE. This document describes the creation and deletion of
PCE-initiated LSPs under the stateful PCE model.
