PCE Communications Protocol Requirements
PCE communication protocol MUST support
communication between PCC-PCE & PCE-PCE in (G)MPLS networks
one protocol for both cases
reliable message exchange
reliable transport
request-response message exchange
security of PCC-PCE & PCE-PCE messages
encryption for some data fields, prevent snooping
authentication, prevent spoofing
DoS protection
confidentiality of PCE communication messages, possibly across multiple domains
little coordination of SP internal topology
use loose routes
replace ERO segment with cookie
entry point to domain consults local PCE using cookie to retrieve next ERO segment
