Abstract

   This document defines the Path Computation Element Communication
   Protocol (PCEP) extension for Central Control Dynamic Routing (CCDR)
   based application in Native IP network.  The scenario and framework
   of CCDR in native IP is described in
   [I-D.ietf-teas-native-ip-scenarios] and
   [I-D.ietf-teas-pce-native-ip].  This draft describes the key
   information that is transferred between Path Computation Element
   (PCE) and Path Computation Clients (PCC) to accomplish the End to End
   (E2E) traffic assurance in Native IP network under central control
   mode.

1.  Introduction

   Traditionally, Multiprotocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering
   (MPLS-TE) traffic assurance requires the corresponding network
   devices support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or the complex
   Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP)/Label Distribution Protocol
   (LDP) /Segment Routing etc. technologies to assure the End-to-End
   (E2E) 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 E2E
   traffic assurance in Native IP network via Dual/Multi Border Gateway
   Protocol (BGP) solution.  This draft describes the corresponding Path
   Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) extensions to

3.  Terminology

   .This document uses the following terms defined in [RFC5440]: PCE,
   PCEP

   The following terms are defined in this document:

   o  CCDR: Central Control Dynamic Routing

4.  CCI Objects

   Draft [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] introduces the
   Central Controller's Instructions (CCI) object which is included in
   the PCInitiate and PCRpt message to transfer the centrally control
   instruction and status between Path Computation Element (PCE) and
   Path Computation Clients (PCC).  This object is extended to include
   the construction for native IP solution.  Additional Type-Length-
   Values (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.

5.  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.

5.1.  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 E2E path in case there is no Route
   Reflection (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.

   of the peer addresses within IGP should be accomplished in advanced
   and they are out of the scope of this draft.
