Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Procedures and Extensions for Using the PCE as a Central Controller (PCECC) of LSPs
draft-ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller-14
Technical Summary
A PCE-based Central Controller (PCECC) can simplify the processing of
a distributed control plane by blending it with elements of SDN and
without necessarily completely replacing it. Thus, the LSP can be
calculated/set up/initiated and the label forwarding entries can also
be downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network device
along the path, while leveraging the existing PCE technologies as
much as possible.
This document specifies the procedures and PCEP extensions for using
the PCE as the central controller.
Working Group Summary
No particular pain point. The discussion mainly happened in the TEAS WG.
Afterwards, the corresponding PCEP extensions progressed smoothly.
Document Quality
No formal announcements though the document had interest from multiple
contributors.
