Abstract

   The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
   mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
   computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests.
   The Stateful PCE extensions allow stateful control of Multiprotocol
   Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths
   (LSPs) using PCEP.  Furthermore, PCEP can be used for computing paths
   in SR networks.

   Stateful PCE provide active control of MPLS-TE LSPs via PCEP, for a
   model where the PCC delegates control over one or more locally
   configured LSPs to the PCE.  Further, stateful PCE could also create
   and delete PCE-initiated LSPs itself.  A PCE-based central controller
   (PCECC) simplify the processing of a distributed control plane by
   blending it with elements of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and
   without necessarily completely replacing it.

   In some use cases, such as PCECC, Binding Segment Identifier (SID)
   for Segment Routing (SR), there are requirements for a stateful PCE
   to make allocation of labels, SIDs, etc.  These use cases require for
   a PCE to be aware of the various identifier space from which to make
   allocations on behalf of PCC.  This documents specify a mechanism for
   a PCC to inform the PCE of the identifier space under its control via
   PCEP.  The identifier could be MPLS label, SID or another future
   identifier to be allocated by a PCE.

1.  Introduction

   [RFC5440] defines the stateless Path Computation Element
   communication Protocol (PCEP) for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to
   perform path computations in response to Path Computation Clients
   (PCCs) requests.  For supporting stateful operations, [RFC8231]
   specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to enable stateful control of
   LSPs within and across PCEP sessions in compliance with [RFC4657].
   Furthermore, [RFC8281] describes the setup, maintenance, and teardown
   of PCE-initiated LSPs under the stateful PCE model, without the need
   for local configuration on the PCC, thus allowing for a dynamic
   network that is centrally controlled and deployed.

   [RFC8283] introduces the architecture for PCE as a central
   controller, it examines the motivations and applicability for PCEP as
   a control protocol in this environment, and introduces the
   implications for the protocol.  Also,
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] specifies the
   procedures and PCEP protocol extensions for using the PCE as the
   central controller, where LSPs are calculated/setup/initiated and
   label forwarding entries are downloaded through extending PCEP.
   However, the document assumes that label range to be used by a PCE is
   known and set on both PCEP peers.  This extension adds the capability
   to advertise the range via a PCEP extension.

   Similarly, [I-D.zhao-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr] specifies
   the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions when a PCE-based
   controller is also responsible for configuring the forwarding actions
   on the routers (SR SID distribution in this case), in addition to
   computing the paths for packet flows in a segment routing network and
   telling the edge routers what instructions to attach to packets as
   they enter the network.  However, the document assumes that label
   range to be used by a PCE is known and set on both PCEP peers.  This
   extension adds the capability to advertise the range (from SRGB or
   SRLB of the node) via a PCEP extension.

   In addition, [I-D.dhody-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-srv6]
   specifies the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions of PCECC for
   SRv6.  An SRv6 SID is represented as LOC:FUNCT where LOC is the L
   most significant bits and FUNCT is the 128-L least significant bits.
   The FUNCT part of the SID is an opaque identification of a local
   function bound to the SID.  This extension adds the capability to
   advertise the range of Function ID (FUNCT part) via a PCEP extension.

   Once the PCC/node has given control over an ID space (for example
   labels), the PCC/node MUST NOT allocate the ID from this ID space.

Internet-Draft           PCE Controlled ID Space           December 2018

   For example, a PCC/node MUST NOT use this labels from the PCE
   controlled label space to make allocation for VPN Prefix distributed
   via BGP or labels used for LDP/RSVP-TE signalling.  This is done to
   make sure that the PCE control over ID space does not conflict with
   the existing node allocation.

   The usecase are described in Section 3.  The ID space range
   information can be advertised via the TLVs in the Open message.  The
   detailed procedures will be described in Section 4, and the objects'
   format will be introduced in Section 5.

2.  Terminology

   This memo makes use of the terms defined in [RFC5440], [RFC8231],
   [RFC8283] and [RFC8402].

2.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Use cases

3.1.  PCE-based Central Control

   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/SR path
   can be calculated/setup/initiated and the label/SID forwarding
   entries can also be downloaded through a centralized PCE server to
   each network devices along the path while leveraging the existing PCE
   technologies as much as possible.

3.1.1.  PCECC for MPLS/SR-MPLS

   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller] describe a mode
   where LSPs are provisioned as explicit label instructions at each hop
   on the end-to-end path.  Each router along the path must be told what
   label forwarding instructions to program and what resources to
   reserve.  The controller uses PCEP to communicate with each router
   along the path of the end-to-end LSP.  For this to work, the PCE-
   based controller will take responsibility for managing some part of
   the MPLS label space for each of the routers that it controls as
   described in section 3.1.2. of [RFC8283].  A mechanism for a PCC to

Internet-Draft           PCE Controlled ID Space           December 2018

   inform the PCE of such a label space to control is needed within
   PCEP.

   [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] specifies extensions to PCEP that
   allow a stateful PCE to compute, update or initiate SR-TE paths.
   [I-D.zhao-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr] describes the
   mechanism for PCECC to allocate and provision the node/prefix/
   adjacency label (SID) via PCEP.  To make such allocation, PCE needs
   to be aware of the label space from Segment Routing Global Block
   (SRGB) or Segment Routing Local Block (SRLB) [RFC8402] of the node
   that it controls.  A mechanism for a PCC to inform the PCE of such a
   label space to control is needed within PCEP.  The full SRGB/SRLB of
   a node could be learned via existing IGP or BGP-LS mechanism.

3.1.2.  PCECC for SRv6

   [I-D.dhody-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-srv6] describes the
   mechanism for PCECC to allocate and provision the SRv6 SID via PCEP.
   An SRv6 SID is represented as LOC:FUNCT where LOC is the L most
   significant bits and FUNCT is the 128-L least significant bits.  The
   FUNCT part of the SID is an opaque identification of a local function
   bound to the SID.  To make such allocation, PCE needs to be aware of
   the Function ID space (FUNCT part) of the node that it controls.  A
   mechanism for a PCC to inform the PCE of such a Function ID space to
   control is needed within PCEP.

3.2.  Binding SID Allocation

   The headend of an SR Policy binds a Binding SID to its policy
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The instantiation of which
   may involve a list of SIDs.  Currently Binding SID are allocated by
   the node, but there is an inherent advantage in the Binding SID to be
   allocated by a PCE to allow SR policies to be dynamically created,
   updated according to the network status and operations.  Therefore, a
   PCE needs to obtain the authority and control to allocate Binding SID
   actively from the PCC's label space as described in above use case.

4.  Overview

   During PCEP Initialization Phase, Open messages are exchanged between
   PCCs and PCEs.  The OPEN object may also contain a set of TLVs used
   to convey capabilities in the Open message.  The ID in this document,
   could be a MPLS label, SRv6 Function ID or any other future ID space
   for PCE to control and allocate from.  A PCC can include a
   corresponding ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLVs in the OPEN Object to inform the
   corresponding ID space information that it wants the PCE to control.
   This TLV MUST NOT be included by the PCE and MUST be ignored on

   receipt by a PCC.  This is an optional TLV, the PCE could be aware of
   the ID space from some other means outside of PCEP.

   For delegating multiple types of ID space, multiple TLVs
   corresponding to each ID type MUST be included in a Open message.
   The ID type can be MPLS label or other ID.  The following ID-CONTROL-
   SPACE TLV is defined in this document -

   o  LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE - for MPLS Labels (including for SR-MPLS)

   o  FUNCTION-ID-CONTROL-SPACE - for SRv6 SID Function ID

   The procedure of ID space control to PCE is shown below:

                     Figure 1: ID space control to PCE

   If the ID space control procedure is successful, the PCE will return
   a KeepAlive message to the PCC.  If there is any error in processing
   the corresponding TLV, an Error (PCErr) message will be sent to the
   PCC with Error-Type=1 (PCEP session establishment failure) and Error-
   value=TBD (ID space control failure).

   After this process, a stateful PCE can learn the PCE controlled ID
   spaces of a node (PCC) under its control.  A PCE can then allocate
   IDs within the control ID space.  For example, a PCE can actively

   allocate labels and download forwarding instructions for the PCECC
   LSP as described in [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].
   A PCE can also allocate labels from SRGB/SRLB for PCECC-SR
   [I-D.zhao-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr].  The full SRGB/SRLB
   of a node could be learned via existing IGP or BGP-LS mechanism.

5.  Objects

5.1.  Open Object

   For advertising the PCE controlled ID space to a PCE, this document
   defines several TLVs within the Open object.

5.1.1.  LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE TLV

   For a PCC to inform the label space under the PCE control, this
   document defines a new LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE TLV.

   The LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE TLV is an optional TLV for use in the OPEN
   object, and its format is shown in the following figure:

                     Figure 2: LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE TLV

   The type (16 bits) of the TLV is TBA.  The length field (16 bits) and
   has a variable value.

Internet-Draft           PCE Controlled ID Space           December 2018

   Block(8 bits): the number of ID blocks.  The range of a block is
   described by a start field and a range field.

   Flags (24 bits): Following flags are currently defined

   o  A-flag: All space flag, set when all the label space is delegated
      to a PCE.  When A-flag is set, the pair of Start and End SHOULD
      NOT appear unless the PCC needs to notify the entire ID space to a
      PCE.

   The unassigned bits of Flags field MUST be set to 0 on transmission
   and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   Start(i) (24 bits): indicates the beginning of the label block i.

   Range(i) (24 bits): indicates the range of the label block i.

   Reserved: SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on
   reception.

   LABEL-CONTROL-SPACE TLV SHOULD be included only once in a Open
   Message.  On receipt, only the first instance is processed and others
   MUST be ignored.

   A stateful PCE can actively allocate labels and download forwarding
   instructions for the PCECC LSP as described in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller].  A PCE can also
   allocate labels from SRGB/SRLB for PCECC-SR
   [I-D.zhao-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-sr] and Binding Segments

5.1.2.  FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLV

   For a PCC to inform the SRv6 SID Function ID space under the PCE
   control, this document defines a new FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLV.

   The FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLV is an optional TLV for use in the OPEN
   object, and its format is shown in the following figure:

                   Figure 3: FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLV

   The type (16 bits) of the TLV is TBA.  The length field (16 bits) and
   has a variable value.

   Block(8 bits): the number of ID blocks.  The range of a block is
   described by a start field and a range field.

   Flags (24 bits): Following flags are currently defined

   o  A-flag: All space flag, set when all the Function ID space is
      delegated to a PCE.  When A-flag is set, the pair of Start and End
      SHOULD NOT appear unless the PCC needs to notify the entire ID
      space to a PCE.

Internet-Draft           PCE Controlled ID Space           December 2018

   o  L-flag: Locator flag, set when the locator information is included
      in this TLV.  If L-flag is unset, Loc Size and variable Locator
      field will not be included in this TLV, and the ID spaces are
      applicable to all Locators.

   The unassigned bits of Flags field MUST be set to 0 on transmission
   and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   Start(i) (128 bits): indicates the beginning of the Function ID block
   i.

   Range(i) (128 bits): indicates the range of the Function ID block i.

   Loc size(8 bits): indicates the bit length of a Locator.  Appears
   only when the L-flag is set.

   Locator (variable length): the value of a Locator.  The Function ID
   spaces specified in this TLV are associated with this locator.

   As per [RFC5440], the value portion of the PCEP TLV needs to be
   4-bytes aligned, so a FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLV is padded with
   trailing zeros to a 4-byte boundary.

   Multiple FUNCT-ID-CONTROL-SPACE TLVs can be included in a OPEN
   message to specify the Function ID space of locators.

   A stateful PCE can actively allocate SRv6 SID and download forwarding
   instructions for the PCECC SRv6 path as described in
   [I-D.dhody-pce-pcep-extension-pce-controller-srv6].

   Note that SRv6 SID allocation involves LOC:FUNCT; the LOC is assumed
   to be known at PCE and FUNCT is allocated from the PCE controlled
   Function ID block.

6.  Other Considerations

   In case of multiple PCEs, a PCC MAY decide to give control over
   different ID space to each instance of the PCE.  In case a PCC
   includes the same ID space to multiple PCEs, the PCE SHOULD use
   synchronization mechanism (such as [I-D.litkowski-pce-state-sync]) to
   avoid allocating the same ID.

   The PCE would allocated ID from the PCE controlled ID space.  The PCC
   would not allocated ID by itself from this space as long as it has an
   active PCEP session to a PCE to which it has given control over the
   ID space.

Internet-Draft           PCE Controlled ID Space           December 2018

   Note that if there is any change in the ID space, the PCC MUST bring
   the session down and re-establish the session with new TLVs.  During
   state synchronization the PCE would need to consider the new ID space
   into consideration and SHOULD re-establish the LSP/SR-paths if
   needed.

   The PCC can take control back of the ID space by closing the PCEP
   session and not including the PCE Controlled ID space TLVs specified
   in this document.
