RFC 8281 Title: Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for PCE-Initiated LSP Setup in a Stateful PCE Model Author: E. Crabbe, I. Minei, S. Sivabalan, R. Varga Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: December 2017 Mailbox: edward.crabbe@gmail.com, inaminei@google.com, msiva@cisco.com, robert.varga@pantheon.tech Pages: 20 Characters: 41108 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-pce-pce-initiated-lsp-11.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8281 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8281 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. This document is a product of the Path Computation Element Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
