| Moreover, it may also be useful to discover when a PCE experiences | ||||

| 4. PCE Discovery Information | This document does not define any new OSPF or ISIS element of | |||
| procedure but how the procedures defined in [OSPF-CAP] and [ISIS-CAP] | ||||
| should be used. | ||||
| 4.1. Description | The routing extensions defined in this document allow for PCE | |||
| discovery within an IGP Routing domain. Solutions for PCE discovery | ||||
| across AS boundaries are beyond the scope of this document, and for | ||||
| further study. | ||||
| The PCE Discovery information allows for dynamic discovery of PCEs. | 4. Overview | |||
| This information is advertised by means of IGP advertisements by | ||||
| PCE(s) participating to the IGP. It allows all PCCs participating to | ||||
| the IGP to dynamically discover PCEs along with information useful | ||||
| for PCE selection. | ||||
| Such dynamic PCE discovery has various advantages: | 4.1. PCE Information | |||
| - Simplified PCC configuration, | ||||
| - Reduces risk of misconfiguration, | ||||
| - Dynamic detection of a new PCE, | ||||
| - Dynamic detection of any change in PCE information | ||||
| - Dynamic detection of PCE aliveness (PCE liveness may require | ||||
| additional mechanisms provided by the PCC-PCE communication | ||||
| protocol) | ||||
| 4.2. Mandatory versus optional PCE information | PCE information advertised within the IGP includes PCE Discovery | |||
| Information and PCE Status information. | ||||
| 4.1.1. PCE Discovery Information | ||||
| The PCE Discovery information is comprised of: | The PCE Discovery information is comprised of: | |||
| - The PCE location: This is a set of one ore more IPv4 and or IPv6 | - The PCE location: This is a set of one or more IPv4 and or IPv6 | |||
| addresses used to reach the PCE. These are basically loopback | addresses that MUST be used to reach the PCE. It is RECOMMENDED to | |||

| - The set of destination domain(s) towards which a PCE can compute | - The PCE Destination domain(s): This is the set of destination | |||
| paths. | domain(s) towards which a PCE can compute paths. | |||
| - A set of general PCECP capabilities (e.g. support for request | ||||
| prioritization) and path computation specific capabilities | ||||
| (e.g. supported constraints, supported objective functions…). | ||||
| - A set of general PCE capabilities (e.g. support for request | ||||
| prioritization) and path computation specific PCE capabilities | ||||
| (e.g. supported constraints, supported objective functions…) | ||||
| These are two variable length sets of bits flags, where each bit | These are two variable length sets of bits flags, where each bit | |||
| represent a given PCE capability. | represent a given PCE capability. | |||
| 4.3. Flooding scope | It may also contain optional elements to describe more complex | |||
| capabilities. | ||||
| The PCE Discovery information can be flooded locally within the IGP | ||||
| area the PCE belongs to, or globally across the entire routing | ||||
| domain. Note that some PCEs may belong to multiple areas, in which | ||||
| case the flooding scope can correspond to these areas. This could be | ||||
| the case of an ABR for instance that can advertise its PCE | ||||
| information within the backbone area and/or a subset of its attached | ||||
| IGP area(s). | ||||
| 4.4. Frequency of change | ||||
| The rate at which PCE information is advertised must be controlled so | PCE Discovery information is by nature a static information that does | |||
| as to not impact by any mean the IGP scalability. Changes in PCE | not change with PCE activity. Changes in PCE Discovery information | |||
| information may occur as result of PCE configuration updates, PCE | may occur as a result of PCE configuration updates, PCE | |||
| deployment/activation or PCE deactivation/suppression. Hence, this | deployment/activation or PCE deactivation/suppression. Hence, this | |||
| information is not expected to change frequently. | information is not expected to change frequently. | |||
| 4.1.2. PCE Status Information | ||||
| The PCE Status is optional information that can be used to report a | ||||
| PCE processing congested state along with an estimated congestion | ||||
| duration. This dynamic information may change with PCE activity. | ||||
| Procedures for a PCE to move from a processing congested state to a | ||||
| non congested state are beyond the scope of this document, but the | ||||
| rate at which a PCE Status change is advertised MUST not impact by | ||||
| any mean the IGP scalability. Particular attention should be given on | ||||
| procedures to avoid state oscillations. | ||||
| 4.2. Flooding scope | ||||
| The flooding scope for PCE Discovery Information can be limited to | ||||
| one or more IGP areas the PCE belongs to or can be extended across | ||||
| the entire routing domain. | ||||
| Note that some PCEs may belong to multiple areas, in which case the | ||||
| flooding scope may comprise these areas. This could be the case of an | ||||
| ABR for instance advertising its PCE information within the backbone | ||||
| area and/or a subset of its attached IGP area(s). | ||||

| 5.3. Elements of Procedure | ||||
| The PCED and PCES TLV are carried within an OSPF Router information | ||||
| opaque LSA (opaque type of 4, opaque ID of 0) which is defined in | ||||
| [OSPF-CAP]. As the PCES information is likely to change more | ||||
| frequently than the PCED information, it is RECOMMENDED to carry PCES | ||||
| and PCED TLVs in separate Router Information LSAs, so as not to carry | ||||
| all PCED information each time the PCE status changes. | ||||
| 5.3.1. PCED TLV Procedure | ||||

| The way PCEs retrieve their own information is out of the scope of | ||||
| this document. Some information may be configured on the PCE (e.g. | ||||
| address, preferences, scope) and other information may be | ||||
| automatically retrieved by the PCE (e.g. areas of visibility). | ||||
| 5.3.2. PCES TLV procedure | ||||
| A router MUST originate a new OSPF router information LSA whenever | ||||
| the content of the PCES TLV changes or whenever required by the | ||||
| regular OSPF procedure (LSA refresh (every LSRefreshTime)). | ||||
| When a PCE enters into a processing congestion state, the conditions | ||||
| of which are implementation dependent, it SHOULD originate a Router | ||||
| Information LSA with a PCES TLV with the C bit set, and optionally a | ||||
| non-null expected congestion duration. | ||||
| When a PCE leaves the processing congestion state, the conditions of | ||||
| which are implementation dependent, there are two cases: | ||||
| - If the congestion duration in the previously originated PCES | ||||
| TLV was null, it SHOULD originate a PCES TLV with the C bit cleared | ||||
| and a null congestion duration; | ||||
| - If the congestion duration in the previously originated PCES | ||||
| TLV was non null, it MAY not originate a PCES TLV. Note that in some | ||||
| particular cases it may be desired to originate a PCES TLV with the C | ||||
| bit cleared if the saturation duration was over estimated. | ||||
| The congestion duration allows reducing the amount of OSPF flooding, | ||||
| as only uncongested-congested state transitions are flooded. | ||||
| It is expected that a proper implementation will support dampening | ||||
| algorithms so as to dampen OSPF flooding in order to not impact the | ||||
| OSPF scalability. It is recommended to introduce some hysteresis for | ||||
| saturation state transition, so as to avoid state oscillations that | ||||
| may impact OSPF performances. For instance two thresholds could be | ||||
| configured: A resource saturation upper-threshold and a resource | ||||
| saturation lower-threshold. An LSR enters the congested state when | ||||
| the CPU load reaches the upper threshold and leaves the congested | ||||
| state when the CPU load goes under the lower threshold. | ||||
| Upon receipt of an updated PCES TLV a PCC should take appropriate | ||||
| actions. In particular, the PCC should stop sending requests to a | ||||
| congested PCE, and should gradually start sending again requests to a | ||||
| no longer congested PCE. Such PCC procedures are out of the scope of | ||||
| this document. | ||||

| 6.2. Elements of procedure | The G, B, D, L, S and O bits are not exclusive. | |||
| The PCED TLV is carried within an IS-IS CAPABILITY TLV defined in | 6.2. The ISIS PCES TLV | |||
| [IS-IS-CAP]. | ||||
| An IS-IS router MUST originate a new IS-IS LSP whenever the content | The ISIS PCE Status TLV (PCES TLV) carries information related to PCE | |||
| processing congestion state. | ||||
| The PCES TLV is carried within an ISIS Capability TLV which is | ||||
| defined in [ISIS-CAP]. | ||||
| The ISIS PCES TLV has the following format: | ||||
| TYPE: To be assigned by IANA | ||||
| LENGTH: Variable | ||||
| VALUE: set of sub-TLVs | ||||
| Sub-TLVs types are under IANA control. | ||||
| Currently two sub-TLVs are defined (suggested type values to be | ||||
| assigned by IANA): | ||||
| Sub-TLV type Length Name | ||||
| 1 variable PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV | ||||
| 2 3 CONGESTION sub-TLV | ||||
| The PCE-ADDRESS and CONGESTION sub-TLVs MUST be present once | ||||
| in a PCES TLV. The PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV is defined in section 6.1.1. | ||||
| It carries one of the PCE IP addresses and is used to identify the | ||||
| PCE the processing congestion state information is applied to. This | ||||
| is required as the PCES and PCED TLVs may be carried in separate | ||||
| ISIS Capability TLVs. | ||||
| Any non recognized sub-TLV MUST be silently ignored. | ||||
| Additional sub-TLVs could be added in the future to advertise | ||||
| additional congestion information. | ||||
| 6.2.1. The CONGESTION sub-TLV | ||||
| The CONGESTION sub-TLV is used to indicate whether a PCE experiences | ||||
| a processing congestion state or not along with optionally the PCE | ||||
| expected congestion duration. | ||||
| The CONGESTION sub-TLV is mandatory. It MUST be carried once within | ||||
| the PCES TLV. | ||||
| The format of the CONGESTION sub-TLV is as follows: | ||||
| TYPE: To be assigned by IANA (Suggested value =2) | ||||
| LENGTH: 3 | ||||
| VALUE: This comprises a one-byte flag of bits indicating the | ||||
| congestion status, followed by a 2-bytes field indicating the | ||||
| congestion duration. | ||||
| Here is the TLV structure | ||||
| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ||||
| |C| Reserved| Congestion Duration | | ||||
| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ||||
| Value | ||||
| -C bit: When set this indicates that the PCE experiences | ||||
| congestion and cannot support any new request. When | ||||
| cleared this indicates that the PCE does not | ||||
| experiences congestion an can support a new request. | ||||
| -Congestion Duration: 2-bytes, the estimated PCE congestion | ||||
| duration in seconds. | ||||
| When C is set and the Congestion Duration field is equal to 0, this | ||||
| means that the Congestion Duration is unknown. | ||||
| When C is cleared the Congestion Duration MUST be set to 0. | ||||
| 6.3. Elements of Procedure | ||||
| The PCED and PCES TLV are carried within an ISIS Capability TLV which | ||||
| is defined in [ISIS-CAP]. As PCES information is likely to change | ||||
| more frequently than the PCED information, it is RECOMMENDED to carry | ||||
| PCES and PCED TLVs in separate ISIS Capability TLVs, so as not to | ||||
| carry all PCED information each time the PCE status changes. | ||||
| 6.3.1. PCED TLV Procedure | ||||
| An ISIS router MUST originate a new ISIS LSP whenever the content | ||||
| of any of the PCED TLV changes or whenever required by the regular | of any of the PCED TLV changes or whenever required by the regular | |||
| IS-IS procedure (LSP refresh). | ISIS procedure (LSP refresh). | |||
| When the scope of the PCED TLV is area local it MUST be carried | When the scope of the PCED TLV is area local it MUST be carried | |||
| within an ISIS CAPABILITY TLV having the S bit cleared. | within an ISIS CAPABILITY TLV having the S bit cleared. | |||

| and S bits are cleared the flooding scope MUST be local. | the flooding scope MUST be local. | |||
| PCED TLVs are OPTIONAL. When an IS-IS LSP does not contain any PCED | PCED sub-TLVs are OPTIONAL. When an ISIS LSP does not contain | |||
| TLV, this means that the PCE information of that node is unknown. | any PCED sub-TLV, this means that the PCE information of | |||
| that node is unknown. | ||||
| Note that a change in PCED information MUST not trigger normal SPF | Note that a change in PCED information MUST not trigger any SPF | |||
| computation. | computation. | |||
| 7. Backward compatibility | The way PCEs retrieve their own information is out of the scope of | |||
| this document. Some information may be configured (e.g. address, | ||||
| preferences, scope) and other information may be automatically | ||||
| retrieved (e.g. areas of visibility). | ||||
| The PCED TLVs defined in this document do not introduce any | 6.3.2. PCES TLV procedure | |||
| interoperability issue. For OSPF, a router not supporting the PCED | ||||
| TLV SHOULD just silently ignore the TLV as specified in RFC2370. For | ||||
| IS-IS a router not supporting the PCED TLV SHOULD just silently | ||||
| ignore the TLV. | ||||
| 8. Security Considerations | An ISIS router MUST originate a new ISIS LSP whenever the content | |||
| of any of the PCES TLV changes or whenever required by the regular | ||||
| IS-IS procedure (LSP refresh). | ||||
| No new security issues are raised in this document. | When a PCE enters into a processing congestion state, the conditions | |||
| of which are implementation dependent, it SHOULD originate a new ISIS | ||||
| LSP with a Capability TLV carrying a PCES TLV with the C bit set and | ||||
| optionally a non-null expected congestion duration. | ||||
| 9. IANA considerations | When a PCE leaves the processing congestion state, the conditions of | |||
| which are implementation dependent, there are two cases: | ||||
| - If the congestion duration in the previously originated PCES | ||||
| TLV was null, it SHOULD originate a PCES TLV with the C bit cleared | ||||
| and a null congestion duration; | ||||
| - If the congestion duration in the previously originated PCES | ||||
| TLV was non null, it MAY not originate a PCES TLV. Note that in some | ||||
| particular cases it may be desired to originate a PCES TLV with the C | ||||
| bit cleared if the saturation duration was over estimated. | ||||
| 9.1. OSPF TLVs | The congestion duration allows reducing the amount of ISIS flooding, | |||
| as only uncongested-congested state transitions are flooded. | ||||
| It is expected that a proper implementation will support dampening | ||||
| algorithms so as to dampen ISIS flooding in order to not impact the | ||||
| ISIS scalability. It is recommended to introduce some hysteresis for | ||||
| congestion state transition, so as to avoid state oscillations that | ||||
| may impact ISIS performances. For instance two thresholds could be | ||||
| configured: A resource saturation upper-threshold and a resource | ||||
| saturation lower-threshold. An LSR enters the congested state when | ||||
| the CPU load reaches the upper threshold and leaves the congested | ||||
| state when the CPU load goes under the lower threshold. | ||||
| Upon receipt of an updated PCES TLV a PCC should take appropriate | ||||
| actions. In particular, the PCC should stop sending requests to a | ||||
| congested PCE, and should gradually start sending again requests to a | ||||
| no longer congested PCE. Such PCC procedures are out of the scope of | ||||
| this document. | ||||
| 7. Backward compatibility | ||||
| The PCED and PCEs TLVs defined in this document do not introduce any | ||||
| interoperability issue. | ||||
| For OSPF, a router not supporting the PCED/PCES TLVs SHOULD just | ||||
| silently ignore the TLVs as specified in [RFC2370]. | ||||
| For ISIS a router not supporting the PCED/PCES TLVs SHOULD just | ||||
| silently ignore the TLV. | ||||
