Abstract:
The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a functional component capable
of selecting paths through a traffic engineered network. These paths
may be supplied in response to requests for computation, or may be
unsolicited instructions issued by the PCE to network elements. Both
approaches use the PCE Communication Protocol (PCEP) to convey the
details of the computed path.
Traffic flows may be categorized and described using "Flow
Specifications". RFC 5575 defines the Flow Specification and
describes how Flow Specification Components are used to describe
traffic flows. RFC 5575 also defines how Flow Specifications may be
distributed in BGP to allow specific traffic flows to be associated
with routes.
This document specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to support
dissemination of Flow Specifications. This allows a PCE to indicate
what traffic should be placed on each path that it is aware of.
