The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Updated Rules for Processing Stateful PCE Request Parameters Flags' (draft-ietf-pce-stateful-flags-01.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Path Computation Element Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-stateful-flags/ Technical Summary Extensions to the Path Computation Element communications Protocol (PCEP) to support stateful Path Computation Elements (PCEs) are defined in RFC 8231. One of the extensions is the Stateful PCE Request Parameters (SRP) object. That object includes a Flags field that is a set of 32 bit flags, and RFC 8281 defines an IANA registry for tracking assigned flags. However, RFC 8231 does not explain how an implementation should set unassigned flags in transmitted messages, nor how an implementation should process unassigned, unknown, or unsupported flags in received messages. This document updates RFC 8231 by defining the correct behaviors. Working Group Summary This I-D being a very focused and uncontroversial fix, it has been moved directly from individual draft to WGLC and submitted to the AD. Based on the direction from the AD, the file name was changed to reflect the WG output and to garner more visibility within the WG. Document Quality A private and unscientific poll of implementers of RFC 8231 conducted by the author suggests that existing implementations already abide by the modification set out in this document.
