These metrics are   associated with the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between customers   and service providers.  The link bandwidth utilization (the total   bandwidth of a link in actual use for the forwarding) is another   important factor to consider during path computation.   IGP Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric Extensions describe mechanisms   with which network performance information is distributed via OSPF   and IS-IS, respectively.  The Path Computation Element Communication   Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements   (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation   Client (PCC) requests.  This document describes the extension to PCEP   to carry latency, delay variation, packet loss, and link bandwidth   utilization as constraints for end-to-end path computation.Status of This Memo   This is an Internet Standards Track document.

Introduction   Real-time network performance information is becoming critical in the   path computation in some networks.  Mechanisms to measure latency,   delay variation, and packet loss in an MPLS network are described in   [RFC6374].  It is important that latency, delay variation, and packet   loss are considered during the path selection process, even before   the Label Switched Path (LSP) is set up.   Link bandwidth utilization based on real-time traffic along the path   is also becoming critical during path computation in some networks.   Thus, it is important that the link bandwidth utilization is factored   in during the path computation.   The Traffic Engineering Database (TED) is populated with network   performance information like link latency, delay variation, packet   loss, as well as parameters related to bandwidth (residual bandwidth,   available bandwidth, and utilized bandwidth) via TE Metric Extensions   in OSPF [RFC7471] or IS-IS [RFC7810] or via a management system.   [RFC7823] describes how a Path Computation Element (PCE) [RFC4655]   can use that information for path selection for explicitly routed   LSPs.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   A Path Computation Client (PCC) can request a PCE to provide a path   meeting end-to-end network performance criteria.  This document   extends the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP)   [RFC5440] to handle network performance constraints that include any   combination of latency, delay variation, packet loss, and bandwidth   utilization constraints.   [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] describe various considerations regarding:   o  Announcement thresholds and filters   o  Announcement suppression   o  Announcement periodicity and network stability   The first two provide configurable mechanisms to bound the number of   re-advertisements in IGP.  The third provides a way to throttle   announcements.Section 1.2 of [RFC7823] also describes the   oscillation and stability considerations while advertising and   considering service-aware information.1.1.  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 inBCP14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all   capitals, as shown here.2.  Terminology   The following terminology is used in this document.   IGP:      Interior Gateway Protocol; either of the two routing             protocols, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) or Intermediate             System to Intermediate System (IS-IS).

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   OF:       Objective Function; a set of one or more optimization             criteria used for the computation of a single path (e.g.,             path cost minimization) or for the synchronized computation             of a set of paths (e.g., aggregate bandwidth consumption             minimization, etc.).  (See [RFC5541].)   OSPF:     Open Shortest Path First   PCC:      Path Computation Client; any client application requesting             a path computation to be performed by a Path Computation             Element.

RSVP:     Resource Reservation Protocol   TE:       Traffic Engineering   TED:      Traffic Engineering Database3.  PCEP Extensions   This section defines PCEP extensions (see [RFC5440]) for requirements   outlined inAppendix A.  The proposed solution is used to support   network performance and service-aware path computation.3.1.  Extensions to METRIC Object   The METRIC object is defined inSection 7.8 of [RFC5440], comprising   metric-value and metric-type (T field), and a flags field, comprising   a number of bit flags (B bit and P bit).  This document defines the   following types for the METRIC object.   o  T=12: Path Delay metric (Section 3.1.1)   o  T=13: Path Delay Variation metric (Section 3.1.2)   o  T=14: Path Loss metric (Section 3.1.3)   o  T=15: P2MP Path Delay metric (Section 3.1.6.1)   o  T=16: P2MP Path Delay Variation metric (Section 3.1.6.2)   o  T=17: P2MP Path Loss metric (Section 3.1.6.3)Dhody, et al.

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   The following terminology is used and expanded along the way.   o  A network comprises of a set of N links {Li, (i=1...N)}.   o  A path P of a point-to-point (P2P) LSP is a list of K links      {Lpi,(i=1...K)}.3.1.1.  Path Delay Metric   The Link Delay metric is defined in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] as   "Unidirectional Link Delay".  The Path Delay metric type of the   METRIC object in PCEP represents the sum of the Link Delay metric of   all links along a P2P path.  Specifically, extending on the above-   mentioned terminology:   o  A Link Delay metric of link L is denoted D(L).   o  A Path Delay metric for the P2P path P = Sum {D(Lpi), (i=1...K)}.   This is as per the sum of means composition function (Section 4.2.5   of [RFC6049]).Section 1.2 of [RFC7823] describes oscillation and   stability considerations, andSection 2.1 of [RFC7823] describes the   calculation of the end-to-end Path Delay metric.  Further,Section 4.2.9 of [RFC6049] states when this composition function may   fail.   Metric Type T=12: Path Delay metric   A PCC MAY use the Path Delay metric in a Path Computation Request   (PCReq) message to request a path meeting the end-to-end latency   requirement.  In this case, the B bit MUST be set to suggest a bound   (a maximum) for the Path Delay metric that must not be exceeded forDhody, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   the PCC to consider the computed path as acceptable.  The Path Delay   metric must be less than or equal to the value specified in the   metric-value field.   A PCC can also use this metric to ask PCE to optimize the path delay   during path computation.  In this case, the B bit MUST be cleared.   A PCE MAY use the Path Delay metric in a Path Computation Reply   (PCRep) message along with a NO-PATH object in the case where the PCE   cannot compute a path meeting this constraint.  A PCE can also use   this metric to send the computed Path Delay metric to the PCC.3.1.1.1.  Path Delay Metric Value   [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] define "Unidirectional Link Delay Sub-TLV" to   advertise the link delay in microseconds in a 24-bit field.   [RFC5440] defines the METRIC object with a 32-bit metric value   encoded in IEEE floating point format (see [IEEE.754]).   Consequently, the encoding for the Path Delay metric value is   quantified in units of microseconds and encoded in IEEE floating   point format.  The conversion from 24-bit integer to 32-bit IEEE   floating point could introduce some loss of precision.3.1.2.  Path Delay Variation Metric   The Link Delay Variation metric is defined in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810]   as "Unidirectional Delay Variation".  The Path Delay Variation metric   type of the METRIC object in PCEP encodes the sum of the Link Delay   Variation metric of all links along the path.  Specifically,   extending on the above-mentioned terminology:   o  A delay variation of link L is denoted DV(L) (average delay      variation for link L).   o  A Path Delay Variation metric for the P2P path P = Sum {DV(Lpi),      (i=1...K)}.Section 1.2 of [RFC7823] describes oscillation and stability   considerations, andSection 2.1 of [RFC7823] describes the   calculation of the end-to-end Path Delay Variation metric.  Further,Section 4.2.9 of [RFC6049] states when this composition function may   fail.   Note that the IGP advertisement for link attributes includes the   average delay variation over a period of time.  An implementation,   therefore, MAY use the sum of the average delay variation of links   along a path to derive the delay variation of the path.  An   end-to-end bound on delay variation is typically used as constraintDhody, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   in the path computation.  An implementation MAY also use some   enhanced composition function for computing the delay variation of a   path with better accuracy.   Metric Type T=13: Path Delay Variation metric   A PCC MAY use the Path Delay Variation metric in a PCReq message to   request a path meeting the path delay variation requirement.  In this   case, the B bit MUST be set to suggest a bound (a maximum) for the   Path Delay Variation metric that must not be exceeded for the PCC to   consider the computed path as acceptable.  The path delay variation   must be less than or equal to the value specified in the metric-value   field.   A PCC can also use this metric to ask the PCE to optimize the path   delay variation during path computation.  In this case, the B flag   MUST be cleared.   A PCE MAY use the Path Delay Variation metric in a PCRep message   along with a NO-PATH object in the case where the PCE cannot compute   a path meeting this constraint.  A PCE can also use this metric to   send the computed end-to-end Path Delay Variation metric to the PCC.3.1.2.1.  Path Delay Variation Metric Value   [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] define "Unidirectional Delay Variation   Sub-TLV" to advertise the link delay variation in microseconds in a   24-bit field.  [RFC5440] defines the METRIC object with a 32-bit   metric value encoded in IEEE floating point format (see [IEEE.754]).   Consequently, the encoding for the Path Delay Variation metric value   is quantified in units of microseconds and encoded in IEEE floating   point format.  The conversion from 24-bit integer to 32-bit IEEE   floating point could introduce some loss of precision.3.1.3.  Path Loss Metric   [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] define "Unidirectional Link Loss".  The Path   Loss (as a packet percentage) metric type of the METRIC object in   PCEP encodes a function of the unidirectional loss metrics of all   links along a P2P path.  The end-to-end packet loss for the path is   represented by this metric.  Specifically, extending on the above   mentioned terminology:   o  The percentage link loss of link L is denoted PL(L).   o  The fractional link loss of link L is denoted FL(L) = PL(L)/100.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   o  The percentage Path Loss metric for the P2P path P = (1 -      ((1-FL(Lp1)) * (1-FL(Lp2)) * .. * (1-FL(LpK)))) * 100 for a path P      with links Lp1 to LpK.   This is as per the composition function described inSection 5.1.5 of   [RFC6049].   Metric Type T=14: Path Loss metric   A PCC MAY use the Path Loss metric in a PCReq message to request a   path meeting the end-to-end packet loss requirement.  In this case,   the B bit MUST be set to suggest a bound (a maximum) for the Path   Loss metric that must not be exceeded for the PCC to consider the   computed path as acceptable.  The Path Loss metric must be less than   or equal to the value specified in the metric-value field.   A PCC can also use this metric to ask the PCE to optimize the path   loss during path computation.  In this case, the B flag MUST be   cleared.   A PCE MAY use the Path Loss metric in a PCRep message along with a   NO-PATH object in the case where the PCE cannot compute a path   meeting this constraint.  A PCE can also use this metric to send the   computed end-to-end Path Loss metric to the PCC.3.1.3.1.  Path Loss Metric Value   [RFC7471] and [RFC7810] define "Unidirectional Link Loss Sub-TLV" to   advertise the link loss in percentage in a 24-bit field.  [RFC5440]   defines the METRIC object with a 32-bit metric value encoded in IEEE   floating point format (see [IEEE.754]).  Consequently, the encoding   for the Path Loss metric value is quantified as a percentage and   encoded in IEEE floating point format.3.1.4.  Non-Understanding / Non-Support of Service-Aware Path        Computation   If a PCE receives a PCReq message containing a METRIC object with a   type defined in this document, and the PCE does not understand or   support that metric type, and the P bit is clear in the METRIC object   header, then the PCE SHOULD simply ignore the METRIC object as per   the processing specified in [RFC5440].   If the PCE does not understand the new METRIC type, and the P bit is   set in the METRIC object header, then the PCE MUST send a PCEP Error   (PCErr) message containing a PCEP-ERROR Object with Error-Type = 4   (Not supported object) and Error-value = 4 (Unsupported parameter)   [RFC5440][RFC5441].Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 9]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   If the PCE understands but does not support the new METRIC type, and   the P bit is set in the METRIC object header, then the PCE MUST send   a PCErr message containing a PCEP-ERROR Object with Error-Type = 4   (Not supported object) with Error-value = 5 (Unsupported network   performance constraint).  The path computation request MUST then be   canceled.   If the PCE understands the new METRIC type, but the local policy has   been configured on the PCE to not allow network performance   constraint, and the P bit is set in the METRIC object header, then   the PCE MUST send a PCErr message containing a PCEP-ERROR Object with   Error-Type = 5 (Policy violation) with Error-value = 8 (Not allowed   network performance constraint).  The path computation request MUST   then be canceled.3.1.5.  Mode of Operation   As explained in [RFC5440], the METRIC object is optional and can be   used for several purposes.  In a PCReq message, a PCC MAY insert one   or more METRIC objects:   o  To indicate the metric that MUST be optimized by the path      computation algorithm (path delay, path delay variation, or path      loss).   o  To indicate a bound on the METRIC (path delay, path delay      variation, or path loss) that MUST NOT be exceeded for the path to      be considered as acceptable by the PCC.   In a PCRep message, the PCE MAY insert the METRIC object with an   Explicit Route Object (ERO) so as to provide the METRIC (path delay,   path delay variation, or path loss) for the computed path.  The PCE   MAY also insert the METRIC object with a NO-PATH object to indicate   that the metric constraint could not be satisfied.   The path computation algorithmic aspects used by the PCE to optimize   a path with respect to a specific metric are outside the scope of   this document.   All the rules of processing the METRIC object as explained in   [RFC5440] are applicable to the new metric types as well.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 20173.1.5.1.  Examples   If a PCC sends a path computation request to a PCE where the metric   to optimize is the path delay and the path loss must not exceed the   value of M, then two METRIC objects are inserted in the PCReq   message:   o  First METRIC object with B=0, T=12, C=1, metric-value=0x0000   o  Second METRIC object with B=1, T=14, metric-value=M   As per [RFC5440], if a path satisfying the set of constraints can be   found by the PCE and there is no policy that prevents the return of   the computed metric, then the PCE inserts one METRIC object with B=0,   T=12, metric-value= computed path delay.  Additionally, the PCE MAY   insert a second METRIC object with B=1, T=14, metric-value=computed   path loss.3.1.6.  Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP)   This section defines the following types for the METRIC object to be   used for the P2MP TE LSPs.3.1.6.1.  P2MP Path Delay Metric   The P2MP Path Delay metric type of the METRIC object in PCEP encodes   the Path Delay metric for the destination that observes the worst   delay metric among all destinations of the P2MP tree.  Specifically,   extending on the above-mentioned terminology:   o  A P2MP tree T comprises a set of M destinations {Dest_j,      (j=1...M)}.   o  The P2P Path Delay metric of the path to destination Dest_j is      denoted by PDM(Dest_j).   o  The P2MP Path Delay metric for the P2MP tree T = Maximum      {PDM(Dest_j), (j=1...M)}.   The value for the P2MP Path Delay metric type (T) = 15.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 20173.1.6.2.  P2MP Path Delay Variation Metric   The P2MP Path Delay Variation metric type of the METRIC object in   PCEP encodes the Path Delay Variation metric for the destination that   observes the worst delay variation metric among all destinations of   the P2MP tree.  Specifically, extending on the above-mentioned   terminology:   o  A P2MP tree T comprises a set of M destinations {Dest_j,      (j=1...M)}.   o  The P2P Path Delay Variation metric of the path to the destination      Dest_j is denoted by PDVM(Dest_j).   o  The P2MP Path Delay Variation metric for the P2MP tree T = Maximum      {PDVM(Dest_j), (j=1...M)}.   The value for the P2MP Path Delay Variation metric type (T) = 16.3.1.6.3.  P2MP Path Loss Metric   The P2MP Path Loss metric type of the METRIC object in PCEP encodes   the path packet loss metric for the destination that observes the   worst packet loss metric among all destinations of the P2MP tree.   Specifically, extending on the above-mentioned terminology:   o  A P2MP tree T comprises of a set of M destinations {Dest_j,      (j=1...M)}.   o  The P2P Path Loss metric of the path to destination Dest_j is      denoted by PLM(Dest_j).   o  The P2MP Path Loss metric for the P2MP tree T = Maximum      {PLM(Dest_j), (j=1...M)}.   The value for the P2MP Path Loss metric type (T) = 17.3.2.  Bandwidth Utilization3.2.1.  Link Bandwidth Utilization (LBU)   The LBU on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled link is populated   in the TED ("Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth Sub-TLV" in [RFC7471]   and [RFC7810]).  For a link or forwarding adjacency, the bandwidth   utilization represents the actual utilization of the link (i.e., as   measured in the router).  For a bundled link, the bandwidthDhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   utilization is defined to be the sum of the component link bandwidth   utilization.  This includes traffic for both RSVP-TE and non-RSVP-TE   label switched path packets.   The LBU in percentage is described as the (utilized bandwidth /   maximum bandwidth) * 100.   The "maximum bandwidth" is defined in [RFC3630] and [RFC5305] and   "utilized bandwidth" in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810].3.2.2.  Link Reserved Bandwidth Utilization (LRBU)   The LRBU on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled link can be   calculated from the TED.  The utilized bandwidth includes traffic for   both RSVP-TE and non-RSVP-TE LSPs; the reserved bandwidth utilization   considers only the RSVP-TE LSPs.   The reserved bandwidth utilization can be calculated by using the   residual bandwidth, available bandwidth, and utilized bandwidth   described in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810].  The actual bandwidth by   non-RSVP-TE traffic can be calculated by subtracting the available   bandwidth from the residual bandwidth ([RFC7471] and [RFC7810]),   which is further deducted from utilized bandwidth to get the reserved   bandwidth utilization.  Thus,   reserved bandwidth utilization = utilized bandwidth - (residual   bandwidth - available bandwidth)   The LRBU in percentage is described as the (reserved bandwidth   utilization / maximum reservable bandwidth) * 100.   The "maximum reservable bandwidth" is defined in [RFC3630] and   [RFC5305].  The "utilized bandwidth", "residual bandwidth", and   "available bandwidth" are defined in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810].3.2.3.  Bandwidth Utilization (BU) Object   The BU object is used to indicate the upper limit of the acceptable   link bandwidth utilization percentage.   The BU object MAY be carried within the PCReq message and PCRep   messages.   BU Object-Class is 35.   BU Object-Type is 1.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 13]

Two      values are currently defined.      *  Type 1 is LBU (Link Bandwidth Utilization)      *  Type 2 is LRBU (Link Residual Bandwidth Utilization)   Bandwidth Utilization (32 bits):  Represents the bandwidth      utilization quantified as a percentage (as described in Sections      3.2.1 and 3.2.2) and encoded in IEEE floating point format (see      [IEEE.754]).   The BU object body has a fixed length of 8 bytes.3.2.3.1.  Elements of Procedure   A PCC that wants the PCE to factor in the bandwidth utilization   during path computation includes a BU object in the PCReq message.  A   PCE that supports this object MUST ensure that no link on the   computed path has the LBU or LRBU percentage exceeding the given   value.   A PCReq or PCRep message MAY contain multiple BU objects so long as   each is for a different bandwidth utilization type.  If a message   contains more than one BU object with the same bandwidth utilization   type, the first MUST be processed by the receiver and subsequent   instances MUST be ignored.   If the BU object is unknown/unsupported, the PCE is expected to   follow procedures defined in [RFC5440].  That is, if the P bit is   set, the PCE sends a PCErr message with error type 3 or 4 (Unknown /   Not supported object) and error value 1 or 2 (unknown / unsupportedDhody, et al.

If the P bit is cleared, the PCE is free to   ignore the object.   If the PCE understands but does not support path computation requests   using the BU object, and the P bit is set in the BU object header,   then the PCE MUST send a PCErr message with a PCEP-ERROR Object   Error-Type = 4 (Not supported object) with Error-value = 5   (Unsupported network performance constraint), and the related path   computation request MUST be discarded.   If the PCE understands the BU object but the local policy has been   configured on the PCE to not allow network performance constraint,   and the P bit is set in the BU object header, then the PCE MUST send   a PCErr message with a PCEP-ERROR Object Error-Type = 5 (Policy   violation) with Error-value = 8 (Not allowed network performance   constraint).  The path computation request MUST then be canceled.   If path computation is unsuccessful, then a PCE MAY insert a BU   object (along with a NO-PATH object) into a PCRep message to indicate   the constraints that could not be satisfied.   Usage of the BU object for P2MP LSPs is outside the scope of this   document.3.3.  Objective Functions   [RFC5541] defines a mechanism to specify an objective function that   is used by a PCE when it computes a path.  The new metric types for   path delay and path delay variation can continue to use the existing   objective function -- Minimum Cost Path (MCP) [RFC5541].  For path   loss, the following new OF is defined.   o  A network comprises a set of N links {Li, (i=1...N)}.   o  A path P is a list of K links {Lpi,(i=1...K)}.   o  The percentage link loss of link L is denoted PL(L).   o  The fractional link loss of link L is denoted FL(L) = PL(L) / 100.   o  The percentage path loss of a path P is denoted PL(P), where PL(P)      = (1 - ((1-FL(Lp1)) * (1-FL(Lp2)) * .. * (1-FL(LpK)))) * 100.   Objective Function Code:  9   Name: Minimum Packet Loss Path (MPLP)   Description: Find a path P such that PL(P) is minimized.Dhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   Two additional objective functions -- namely, the Maximum Under-   Utilized Path (MUP) and the Maximum Reserved Under-Utilized Path   (MRUP) are needed to optimize bandwidth utilization.  These two new   objective function codes are defined below.   These objective functions are formulated using the following   additional terminology:   o  The bandwidth utilization on link L is denoted u(L).   o  The reserved bandwidth utilization on link L is denoted ru(L).   o  The maximum bandwidth on link L is denoted M(L).   o  The maximum reservable bandwidth on link L is denoted R(L).   The description of the two new objective functions is as follows.   Objective Function Code:  10   Name: Maximum Under-Utilized Path (MUP)   Description: Find a path P such that (Min {(M(Lpi)- u(Lpi))   / M(Lpi), i=1...K } ) is maximized.   Objective Function Code:  11   Name: Maximum Reserved Under-Utilized Path (MRUP)   Description: Find a path P such that (Min {(R(Lpi)- ru(Lpi))   / R(Lpi), i=1...K } ) is maximized.   These new objective functions are used to optimize paths based on the   bandwidth utilization as the optimization criteria.   If the objective functions defined in this document are unknown/   unsupported by a PCE, then the procedure as defined inSection 3.1.1   of [RFC5541] is followed.4.  Stateful PCE and PCE Initiated LSPs   [RFC8231] specifies a set of extensions to PCEP to enable stateful   control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS LSPs via PCEP and the maintaining of   these LSPs at the stateful PCE.  It further distinguishes between an   active and a passive stateful PCE.  A passive stateful PCE uses LSP   state information learned from PCCs to optimize path computations but   does not actively update LSP state.  In contrast, an active stateful   PCE utilizes the LSP delegation mechanism to update LSP parameters in   those PCCs that delegated control over their LSPs to the PCE.   [PCE-INITIATED] describes the setup, maintenance, and teardown ofDhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 16]

The document   defines the PCInitiate message that is used by a PCE to request a PCC   to set up a new LSP.   The new metric type and objective functions defined in this document   can also be used with the stateful PCE extensions.  The format of   PCEP messages described in [RFC8231] and [PCE-INITIATED] uses   <intended-attribute-list> and <attribute-list>, respectively, (where   the <intended-attribute-list> is the attribute-list defined inSection 6.5 of [RFC5440] and extended inSection 5.2 of this   document) for the purpose of including the service-aware parameters.   The stateful PCE implementation MAY use the extension of PCReq and   PCRep messages as defined in Sections5.1 and5.2 to enable the use   of service-aware parameters during passive stateful operations.5.  PCEP Message Extension   Message formats in this document are expressed using Routing Backus-   Naur Form (RBNF) as used in [RFC5440] and defined in [RFC5511].5.1.

The PCRpt Message   A Path Computation LSP State Report message (also referred to as   PCRpt message) is a PCEP message sent by a PCC to a PCE to report the   current state or delegate control of an LSP.  The BU object in a   PCRpt message specifies the upper limit set at the PCC at the time of   LSP delegation to an active stateful PCE.Dhody, et al.

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017   The format of the PCRpt message is described in [RFC8231], which uses   the <intended-attribute-list>, which is the attribute-list defined inSection 6.5 of [RFC5440] and extended by PCEP extensions.   The PCRpt message can use the updated <attribute-list> (as extended   inSection 5.2) for the purpose of including the BU object.6.  Other Considerations6.1.  Inter-domain Path Computation   [RFC5441] describes the Backward Recursive PCE-Based Computation   (BRPC) procedure to compute an end-to-end optimized inter-domain path   by cooperating PCEs.  The new metric types defined in this document   can be applied to end-to-end path computation, in a similar manner to   the existing IGP or TE metrics.  The new BU object defined in this   document can be applied to end-to-end path computation, in a similar   manner to a METRIC object with its B bit set to 1.   All domains should have the same understanding of the METRIC (path   delay variation, etc.) and the BU object for end-to-end inter-domain   path computation to make sense.  Otherwise, some form of metric   normalization as described in [RFC5441] MUST be applied.6.1.1.  Inter-AS Links   The IGP in each neighbor domain can advertise its inter-domain TE   link capabilities.  This has been described in [RFC5316] (IS-IS) and   [RFC5392] (OSPF).  The network performance link properties are   described in [RFC7471] and [RFC7810].  The same properties must be   advertised using the mechanism described in [RFC5392] (OSPF) and   [RFC5316] (IS-IS).6.1.2.  Inter-Layer Path Computation   [RFC5623] provides a framework for PCE-based inter-layer MPLS and   GMPLS traffic engineering.  Lower-layer LSPs that are advertised as   TE links into the higher-layer network form a Virtual Network   Topology (VNT).  The advertisement into the higher-layer network   should include network performance link properties based on the   end-to-end metric of the lower-layer LSP.  Note that the new metrics   defined in this document are applied to end-to-end path computation,   even though the path may cross multiple layers.Dhody, et al.

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 20176.2.  Reoptimizing Paths   [RFC6374] defines the measurement of loss, delay, and related metrics   over LSPs.  A PCC can utilize these measurement techniques.  In case   it detects a degradation of network performance parameters relative   to the value of the constraint it gave when the path was set up, or   relative to an implementation-specific threshold, it MAY ask the PCE   to reoptimize the path by sending a PCReq with the R bit set in the   RP object, as per [RFC5440].   A PCC may also detect the degradation of an LSP without making any   direct measurements, by monitoring the TED (as populated by the IGP)   for changes in the network performance parameters of the links that   carry its LSPs.  The PCC can issue a reoptimization request for any   impacted LSPs.  For example, a PCC can monitor the link bandwidth   utilization along the path by monitoring changes in the bandwidth   utilization parameters of one or more links on the path in the TED.   If the bandwidth utilization percentage of any of the links in the   path changes to a value less than that required when the path was set   up, or otherwise less than an implementation-specific threshold, then   the PCC can issue a reoptimization request to a PCE.   A stateful PCE can also determine which LSPs should be reoptimized   based on network events or triggers from external monitoring systems.   For example, when a particular link deteriorates and its loss   increases, this can trigger the stateful PCE to automatically   determine which LSPs are impacted and should be reoptimized.7.

Some deployments may   find the service-aware information like delay and packet loss to be   extra sensitive and could be used to influence path computation and   setup with adverse effect.  Additionally, snooping of PCEP messages   with such data or using PCEP messages for network reconnaissance may   give an attacker sensitive information about the operations of the   network.  Thus, such deployment should employ suitable PCEP securityDhody, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 23]

The procedure based on Transport Layer Security (TLS) in   [PCEPS] is considered a security enhancement and thus is much better   suited for the sensitive service-aware information.9.  Manageability Considerations9.1.  Control of Function and Policy   The only configurable item is the support of the new constraints on a   PCE, which MAY be controlled by a policy module on an individual   basis.  If the new constraint is not supported/allowed on a PCE, it   MUST send a PCErr message accordingly.9.2.  Information and Data Models   [RFC7420] describes the PCEP MIB.  There are no new MIB Objects for   this document.9.3.  Liveness Detection and Monitoring   The mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness   detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already   listed in [RFC5440].9.4.  Verify Correct Operations   The mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new   operation verification requirements in addition to those already   listed in [RFC5440].9.5.  Requirements on Other Protocols   The PCE requires the TED to be populated with network performance   information like link latency, delay variation, packet loss, and   utilized bandwidth.  This mechanism is described in [RFC7471] and   [RFC7810].9.6.  Impact on Network Operations   The mechanisms defined in this document do not have any impact on   network operations in addition to those already listed in [RFC5440].Dhody, et al.

RFC 8233                   Service-Aware LSPs             September 2017Appendix A.  PCEP Requirements   End-to-end service optimization based on latency, delay variation,   packet loss, and link bandwidth utilization are key requirements for   service providers.  The following associated key requirements are   identified for PCEP:   1.  A PCE supporting this specification MUST have the capability to       compute end-to-end paths with latency, delay variation, packet       loss, and bandwidth utilization constraints.  It MUST also       support the combination of network performance constraints       (latency, delay variation, loss,...) with existing constraints       (cost, hop-limit,...).   2.  A PCC MUST be able to specify any network performance constraint       in a PCReq message to be applied during the path computation.   3.  A PCC MUST be able to request that a PCE optimizes a path using       any network performance criteria.   4.  A PCE that supports this specification is not required to provide       service-aware path computation to any PCC at any time.       Therefore, it MUST be possible for a PCE to reject a PCReq       message with a reason code that indicates service-aware path       computation is not supported.  Furthermore, a PCE that does not       support this specification will either ignore or reject such       requests using pre-existing mechanisms; therefore, the requests       MUST be identifiable to legacy PCEs, and rejections by legacy       PCEs MUST be acceptable within this specification.   5.  A PCE SHOULD be able to return end-to-end network performance       information of the computed path in a PCRep message.   6.  A PCE SHOULD be able to compute multi-domain (e.g., Inter-AS,       Inter-Area, or Multi-Layer) service-aware paths.   Such constraints are only meaningful if used consistently: for   instance, if the delay of a computed path segment is exchanged   between two PCEs residing in different domains, a consistent way of   defining the delay must be used.Dhody, et al.
