Abstract Abstract
In order to provide greater scalability, network opacity, and service In order to provide greater scalability, network opacity, and service
independence, Segment Routing (SR) utilizes a Binding Segment independence, Segment Routing (SR) utilizes a Binding Segment
Identifier (BSID). It is possible to associate a BSID to RSVP-TE Identifier (BSID). It is possible to associate a BSID to RSVP-TE

7. Implementation Status 7. PCE Allocation of Binding SID
Section 4 already includes the scenario where a PCE requires a PCC to
allocate a specified binding value by sending a PCUpd or PCInitiate
message containing a TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. This section specify an
OPTIONAL feature for the PCE to allocate the binding label on its own
accord in the case where the PCE also controls the label space of the
PCC and can make the label allocation on its own as described in
[RFC8283]. Note that the act of requesting a specific binding value
(Section 4) is different from the act of allocating a binding label/
SID as described in this section.
[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. [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] specifies
the procedures and PCEP extensions for using the PCE as the central
controller.
For an implementation that supports PCECC operations as per
[I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller], the binding label/
SID MAY also be allocated by the PCE itself. Both peers need to
exchange the PCECC capability as described in
[I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] before PCE could
allocate the binding label/SID on its own.
A new P flag in the LSP object [RFC8231] is introduced to indicate
the allocation needs to be made by the PCE:
o P (PCE-allocated binding label/SID - TBD6): If the bit is set to
1, it indicates that the PCC requests PCE to make allocations for
this LSP. The TLV in LSP object identifies what should be
allocated, such as Binding label/SID. A PCC would set this bit to
1 and include a TE-PATH-BINDING TLV in the LSP object to request
for allocation of Binding label/SID by the PCE in the PCEP
message. A PCE would also set this bit to 1 and include a TE-
PATH-BINDING TLV to indicate that the Binding label/SID is
allocated by PCE and encoded in the PCEP message towards PCC.
Further, a PCE would set this bit to 0 and include a TE-PATH-
BINDING TLV in the LSP object to indicate that the Binding label/
SID should be allocated by the PCC as described in Section 4.
Note that,
o a PCE could allocate the binding label/SID on its own accord for a
PCE-initiated or delegated LSP, and inform the PCC in the
PCInitiate message or PCUpd message by setting P=1 and including
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV in the LSP object.
o to let the PCC allocates the binding label/SID, a PCE could set
P=0 and empty TE-PATH-BINDING TLV ( i.e., no binding value is
specified) in the LSP object in PCInitiate/PCUpd message.
o a PCC could request that the PCE allocate the binding label/SID by
setting P=1, D=1, and empty TE-PATH-BINDING TLV in PCRpt message.
The PCE would allocate it and respond to the PCC with PCUpd
message including the allocated binding label/SID in the TE-PATH-
BINDING TLV and P=1, D=1 in the LSP object.
o if both peers have not exchanged the PCECC capabilities as per
[I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] and it receives
P=1 in the LSP object, it needs to act as per
[I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller]:
* Send a PCErr message with Error-Type=19 (Invalid Operation) and
Error-Value=TBD (Attempted PCECC operations when PCECC
capability was not advertised)
* Terminate the PCEP session
It is assumed that the label range to be used by a PCE is known and
set on both PCEP peers. The exact mechanism is out of scope of
[I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] or this document.
Note that the specific BSID could be from the PCE-controlled or the
PCC-controlled label space. PCE would directly allocate the label
from the PCE-controlled label space using P=1 as described above,
whereas PCE would request for the allocation of a specific BSID from
the PCC-controlled label space with P=0 as described in Section 4.
