RFC 8149 Title: RSVP Extensions for Reoptimization of Loosely Routed Point-to-Multipoint Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Author: T. Saad, Ed., R. Gandhi, Ed., Z. Ali, R. Venator, Y. Kamite Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2017 Mailbox: tsaad@cisco.com, rgandhi@cisco.com, zali@cisco.com, robert.h.venator.civ@mail.mil, y.kamite@ntt.com Pages: 17 Characters: 37916 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-teas-p2mp-loose-path-reopt-09.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8149 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8149 The reoptimization of a Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP) may be triggered based on the need to reoptimize an individual source-to-leaf (S2L) sub-LSP or a set of S2L sub-LSPs, both using the Sub-Group-based reoptimization method, or the entire P2MP-TE LSP tree using the Make-Before-Break (MBB) method. This document discusses the application of the existing mechanisms for path reoptimization of loosely routed Point-to-Point (P2P) TE LSPs to the P2MP-TE LSPs, identifies issues in doing so, and defines procedures to address them. When reoptimizing a large number of S2L sub-LSPs in a tree using the Sub-Group-based reoptimization method, the S2L sub-LSP descriptor list may need to be semantically fragmented. This document defines the notion of a fragment identifier to help recipient nodes unambiguously reconstruct the fragmented S2L sub-LSP descriptor list. This document is a product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard.
