1.  Introduction

   Traditionally, MPLS-TE traffic assurance requires the corresponding
   network devices support MPLS or the complex RSVP/LDP/Segment Routing
   etc. technologies to assure the end-to-end traffic performance.  But
   in native IP network, there will be no such signaling protocol to
   synchronize the action among different network devices.  It is
   necessary to use the central control mode that described in [RFC8283]
   to correlate the forwarding behavior among different network devices.
   Draft [I-D.ietf-teas-pce-native-ip] describes the architecture and
   solution philosophy for the end2end traffic assurance in Native IP
   network via Dual/Multi BGP solution.  This draft describes the
   corresponding PCEP extensions to transfer the key information about
   peer address list, peer prefix association and the explicit peer
   route on on-path router.

3.  CCI Objects

   Draft [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] introduces the
   CCI object which is included in the PCInitiate and PCRpt message to
   transfer the centrally control instruction and status between PCE and
   PCC.  This object is extended to include the construction for native
   IP solution.  Additional TLVs are defined and included in this
   extended CCI object.

   CCI Object-Class is TBD, should be same as that defined in draft
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller]

   CCI Object-Type is TBD for Native IP network

   The fields in the CCI object are as follows:

   CC-ID: A PCEP-specific identifier for the CCI information.  A PCE
   creates an CC-ID for each instruction, the value is unique within the
   scope of the PCE and is constant for the lifetime of a PCEP session.
   The values 0 and 0xFFFFFFFF are reserved and MUST NOT be used.

   Flags: Is used to carry any additional information pertaining to the
   CCI.

   Optional TLV: Additional TLVs that are associated with the Native IP
   construction.

4.  CCI Object associated TLV

   Three new TLVs are defined in this draft:

   o  PAL TLV: Peer Address List TLV, used to tell the network device
      which peer it should be peered with dynamically

   o  PPA TLV: Peer Prefix Association TLV,used to tell which prefixes
      should be advertised via the corresponding peer

   o  EPR TLV: Explicit Peer Route TLV,used to point out which route
      should be taken to arrive to the peer.

4.1.  Peer Address List TLV

   The Peer Address List TLV is defined to specify the IP address of
   peer that the received network device should establish the BGP
   relationship with.  This TLV should only be included and sent to the
   head and end router of the end2end path in case there is no RR
   involved.  If the RR is used between the head and end routers, then
   such information should be sent to head router, RR and end router
   respectively.
