IS-IS Protocol Extensions for
Path Computation Element (PCE) Discovery
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
There are various circumstances where it is highly desirable for a
Path Computation Client (PCC) to be able to dynamically and
automatically discover a set of Path Computation Elements (PCEs),
along with information that can be used by the PCC for PCE selection.
When the PCE is a Label Switching Router (LSR) participating in the
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), or even a server participating
passively in the IGP, a simple and efficient way to announce PCEs
consists of using IGP flooding. For that purpose, this document
defines extensions to the Intermediate System to Intermediate System
(IS-IS) routing protocol for the advertisement of PCE Discovery
information within an IS-IS area or within the entire IS-IS routing
domain.

1. Introduction
[RFC4655] describes the motivations and architecture for a Path
Computation Element (PCE)-based path computation model for
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)
Traffic Engineered Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs). The model allows
for the separation of the PCE from a Path Computation Client (PCC)
(also referred to as a non co-located PCE) and allows for cooperation
between PCEs (where one PCE acts as a PCC to make requests of the
other PCE). This relies on a communication protocol between a PCC
and PCE, and also between PCEs. The requirements for such a
communication protocol can be found in [RFC4657], and the
communication protocol is defined in [PCEP].
The PCE architecture requires that a PCC be aware of the location of
one or more PCEs in its domain, and, potentially, of PCEs in other
domains, e.g., in the case of inter-domain TE LSP computation.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
A network may contain a large number of PCEs, each with potentially
distinct capabilities. In such a context, it is highly desirable to
have a mechanism for automatic and dynamic PCE discovery that allows
PCCs to automatically discover a set of PCEs, along with additional
information about each PCE that may be used by a PCC to perform PCE
selection. Additionally, it is valuable for a PCC to dynamically
detect new PCEs, failed PCEs, or any modification to the PCE
information. Detailed requirements for such a PCE discovery
mechanism are provided in [RFC4674].
Note that the PCE selection algorithm applied by a PCC is out of the
scope of this document.
When PCCs are LSRs participating in the IGP (OSPF or IS-IS), and PCEs
are either LSRs or servers also participating in the IGP, an
effective mechanism for PCE discovery within an IGP routing domain
consists of utilizing IGP advertisements.
This document defines extensions to IS-IS [ISO] to allow a PCE in an
IS-IS routing domain to advertise its location, along with some
information useful to a PCC for PCE selection, so as to satisfy
dynamic PCE discovery requirements set forth in [RFC4674].
Generic capability advertisement mechanisms for IS-IS are defined in
[RFC4971]. These allow a router to advertise its capabilities within
an IS-IS area or an entire IS-IS routing domain. This document
leverages this generic capability advertisement mechanism to fully
satisfy the dynamic PCE discovery requirements.
This document defines a new sub-TLV (named the PCE Discovery (PCED))
to be carried within the IS-IS Router Capability TLV ([RFC4971]).
The PCE information advertised is detailed in Section 3. Protocol
extensions and procedures are defined in Sections 4 and 5.
The IS-IS extensions defined in this document allow for PCE discovery
within an IS-IS routing domain. Solutions for PCE discovery across
AS boundaries are beyond the scope of this document, and are for
further study.
This document defines a set of sub-TLVs that are nested within each
other. When the degree of nesting TLVs is 2 (a TLV is carried within
another TLV) the TLV carried within a TLV is called a sub-TLV.
Strictly speaking, when the degree of nesting is 3, a sub-sub-TLV is
carried within a sub-TLV that is itself carried within a TLV. For
the sake of terminology simplicity, a TLV carried within another TLV
is called a sub-TLV regardless of the degree of nesting.

3. Overview
3.1. PCE Discovery Information
The PCE discovery information is composed of:
- The PCE location: an IPv4 and/or IPv6 address that is used to
reach the PCE. It is RECOMMENDED to use an address that is always
reachable if there is any connectivity to the PCE;
- The PCE path computation scope (i.e., intra-layer, inter-area,
inter-AS, or inter-layer);
- The set of one or more PCE-Domain(s) into which the PCE has
visibility and for which the PCE can compute paths;
- The set of zero, one, or more neighbor PCE-Domain(s) toward which
the PCE can compute paths;
- A set of communication capabilities (e.g., support for request
prioritization) and path computation-specific capabilities (e.g.,
supported constraints).
PCE discovery information is, by nature, fairly static and does not
change with PCE activity. Changes in PCE discovery information may
occur as a result of PCE configuration updates, PCE
deployment/activation, PCE deactivation/suppression, or PCE failure.
Hence, this information is not expected to change frequently.
3.2. Flooding Scope
The flooding scope for PCE information advertised through IS-IS can
be a single L1 area, an L1 area and the L2 sub-domain, or the entire
IS-IS routing domain.
4. The IS-IS PCED Sub-TLV
The IS-IS PCED sub-TLV contains a non-ordered set of sub-TLVs.
The format of the IS-IS PCED sub-TLV and its sub-TLVs is identical to
the TLV format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions to IS-IS
[RFC3784]. That is, the TLV is comprised of 1 octet for the type, 1
octet specifying the TLV length, and a value field. The Length field
defines the length of the value portion in octets.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
The IS-IS PCED sub-TLV has the following format:
TYPE: 5
LENGTH: Variable
VALUE: Set of sub-TLVs
Five sub-TLVs are defined:
Sub-TLV type Length Name
1 variable PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV
2 3 PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV
3 variable PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV
4 variable NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV
5 variable PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV
The PCE-ADDRESS and PATH-SCOPE sub-TLVs MUST always be present within
the PCED sub-TLV.
The PCE-DOMAIN and NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLVs are optional. They MAY
be present in the PCED sub-TLV to facilitate selection of
inter-domain PCEs.
The PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV is optional and MAY be present in the PCED
sub-TLV to facilitate the PCE selection process.
Any unrecognized sub-TLV MUST be silently ignored.
The PCED sub-TLV is carried within an IS-IS CAPABILITY TLV defined in
[RFC4971].
No additional sub-TLVs will be added to the PCED TLV in the future.
If a future application requires the advertisement of additional PCE
information in IS-IS, this will not be carried in the CAPABILITY TLV.
The following sub-sections describe the sub-TLVs that may be carried
within the PCED sub-TLV.
4.1. PCE-ADDRESS Sub-TLV
The PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV specifies an IP address that can be used to
reach the PCE. It is RECOMMENDED to make use of an address that is
always reachable, provided the PCE is alive and reachable.
The PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV is mandatory; it MUST be present within the
PCED sub-TLV. It MAY appear twice, when the PCE has both an IPv4 and
IPv6 address. It MUST NOT appear more than once for the same address
type. If it appears more than once for the same address type, only
the first occurrence is processed and any others MUST be ignored.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
The PCE-ADDRESS sub-TLV has the following format:
TYPE: 1
LENGTH: 5 for an IPv4 address or 17 for an IPv6 address.
VALUE: This comprises one octet indicating the address-type and 4
or 16 octets encoding the IPv4 or IPv6 address to be used
to reach the PCE.
Address-type:
1 IPv4
2 IPv6
4.2. The PATH-SCOPE Sub-TLV
The PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV indicates the PCE path computation scope,
which refers to the PCE's ability to compute or take part in the
computation of paths for intra-area, inter-area, inter-AS, or
inter-layer TE LSPs.
The PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV is mandatory; it MUST be present within the
PCED sub-TLV. There MUST be exactly one instance of the PATH-SCOPE
sub-TLV within each PCED sub-TLV. If it appears more than once only
the first occurrence is processed and any others MUST be ignored.
The PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV contains a set of bit flags indicating the
supported path scopes, and four fields indicating PCE preferences.
The PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV has the following format:
TYPE: 2
LENGTH: 3
VALUE: This comprises a 1-octet flags field where each flag
represents a supported path scope, followed by a 2-octet
preferences field indicating PCE preferences.
Here is the structure of the flags field:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|0|1|2|3|4|5|Res|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
Bit Path Scope
0 L bit: Can compute intra-area paths.
1 R bit: Can act as PCE for inter-area TE LSP computation.
2 Rd bit: Can act as a default PCE for inter-area TE LSP
computation.
3 S bit: Can act as PCE for inter-AS TE LSP computation.
4 Sd bit: Can act as a default PCE for inter-AS TE LSP
computation.
5 Y bit: Can act as PCE for inter-layer TE LSP
computation.
6-7 Reserved for future use.
Here is the structure of the preferences field:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|PrefL|PrefR|PrefS|PrefY| Res |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
PrefL field: PCE's preference for intra-area TE LSP computation.
PrefR field: PCE's preference for inter-area TE LSP computation.
PrefS field: PCE's preference for inter-AS TE LSP computation.
Pref-Y field: PCE's preference for inter-layer TE LSP computation.
Res: Reserved for future use.
The L, R, S, and Y bits are set when the PCE can act as a PCE for
intra-area, inter-area, inter-AS, or inter-layer TE LSP computation,
respectively. These bits are non-exclusive.
When set, the Rd bit indicates that the PCE can act as a default PCE
for inter-area TE LSP computation (that is, the PCE can compute a
path toward any neighbor area). Similarly, when set, the Sd bit
indicates that the PCE can act as a default PCE for inter-AS TE LSP
computation (the PCE can compute a path toward any neighbor AS).
When the Rd and Sd bit are set, the PCED sub-TLV MUST NOT contain a
NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV (see Section 4.4).
When the R bit is clear, the Rd bit SHOULD be clear on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt. When the S bit is clear, the Sd bit
SHOULD be clear on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
The PrefL, PrefR, PrefS and PrefY fields are each three bits long and
allow the PCE to specify a preference for each computation scope,
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
where 7 reflects the highest preference. Such preferences can be
used for weighted load balancing of path computation requests. An
operator may decide to configure a preference for each computation
scope at each PCE so as to balance the path computation load among
them. The algorithms used by a PCC to balance its path computation
requests according to such PCE preferences are out of the scope of
this document and are a matter for local or network-wide policy. The
same or different preferences may be used for each scope. For
instance, an operator that wants a PCE capable of both inter-area and
inter-AS computation to be preferred for use for inter-AS
computations may configure PrefS higher than PrefR.
When the L, R, S, or Y bits are cleared, the PrefL, PrefR, PrefS, and
PrefY fields SHOULD respectively be set to 0 on transmission and MUST
be ignored on receipt.
Both reserved fields SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST
be ignored on receipt.
4.3. PCE-DOMAIN Sub-TLV
The PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV specifies a PCE-Domain (area and/or AS) where
the PCE has topology visibility and through which the PCE can compute
paths.
The PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV SHOULD be present when PCE-Domains for which
the PCE can operate cannot be inferred by other IGP information: for
instance, when the PCE is inter-domain capable (i.e., when the R bit
or S bit is set) and the flooding scope is the entire routing domain
(see Section 5 for a discussion of how the flooding scope is set and
interpreted).
A PCED sub-TLV may include multiple PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLVs when the PCE
has visibility into multiple PCE-Domains.
The PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV has the following format:
TYPE: 3
LENGTH: Variable
VALUE: This is composed of one octet indicating the domain-type
(area ID or AS Number) and a variable length IS-IS area ID
or a 32-bit AS number, identifying a PCE-Domain where the
PCE has visibility and can compute paths.
Two domain types are defined:
1 Area ID
2 AS Number
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
The Area ID is the area address as defined in [ISO].
When the AS number is coded in two octets, the AS Number field MUST
have its first two octets set to 0.
4.4. NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN Sub-TLV
The NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV specifies a neighbor PCE-Domain (area or
AS) toward which a PCE can compute paths. It means that the PCE can
take part in the computation of inter-domain TE LSPs with paths that
transit this neighbor PCE-Domain.
A PCED sub-TLV may include several NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLVs when the
PCE can compute paths towards several neighbor PCE-Domains.
The NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV has the same format as the PCE-DOMAIN
sub-TLV:
TYPE: 4
LENGTH: Variable
VALUE: This comprises one octet indicating the domain-type (area
ID or AS Number) and a variable length IS-IS area ID or a
32-bit AS number, identifying a PCE-Domain toward which
the PCE can compute paths.
Two domain types are defined:
1 Area ID
2 AS Number
The Area ID is the area address as defined in [ISO].
When the AS number is coded in two octets, the AS Number field MUST
have its first two octets set to 0.
The NEIG-PCE-DOMAIN sub-TLV MUST be present at least once with
domain-type set to 1 if the R bit is set and the Rd bit is cleared,
and MUST be present at least once with domain-type set to 2 if the S
bit is set and the Sd bit is cleared.
4.5. PCE-CAP-FLAGS Sub-TLV
The PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV used to indicate PCE
capabilities. It MAY be present within the PCED sub-TLV. It MUST
NOT be present more than once. If it appears more than once, only
the first occurrence is processed and any others MUST be ignored.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
The value field of the PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV is made up of an array
of units of 32-bit flags numbered from the most significant bit as
bit zero, where each bit represents one PCE capability.
The PCE-CAP-FLAGS sub-TLV has the following format:
TYPE: 5
LENGTH: Multiple of 4
VALUE: This contains an array of units of 32-bit flags numbered
from the most significant as bit zero, where each bit
represents one PCE capability.
The PCE capability registry is managed by IANA; it is common with
OSPF and defined in [RFC5088].
Reserved bits SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST be
ignored on receipt.
5. Elements of Procedure
The PCED sub-TLV is advertised within an IS-IS Router Capability TLV
defined in [RFC4971]. As such, elements of procedures are inherited
from those defined in [RFC4971].
The flooding scope is controlled by the S flag in the IS-IS Router
Capability TLV (see [RFC4971]). When the scope of the PCED sub-TLV
is area local, it MUST be carried within an IS-IS Router Capability
TLV having the S bit cleared. When the scope of the PCED sub-TLV is
the entire IS-IS routing domain, it MUST be carried within an IS-IS
Router Capability TLV having the S bit set. Note that when only the
L bit of the PATH-SCOPE sub-TLV is set, the flooding scope MUST be
area local.
Note that an L1L2 node may include a PCED TLV in a Router Capability
TLV with the S bit cleared in both in its L1 and L2 LSPs. This
allows the flooding scope to be restricted to the L1 area and the L2
sub-domain.
When the PCE function is deactivated, the IS-IS speaker advertising
this PCE MUST originate a new IS-IS LSP that no longer includes the
corresponding PCED TLV.
The PCE address (i.e., the address indicated within the PCE-ADDRESS
sub-TLV) SHOULD be reachable via some prefixes advertised by IS-IS.
The PCED sub-TLV information regarding a specific PCE is only
considered current and useable when the router advertising this
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
information is itself reachable via IS-IS calculated paths at the
level of the LSP in which the PCED sub-TLV appears.
A change in the state of a PCE (activate, deactivate, parameter
change) MUST result in a corresponding change in the PCED sub-TLV
information advertised by an IS-IS router (inserted, removed,
updated) in its LSP. The way PCEs determine the information they
advertise, and how that information is made available to IS-IS, is
out of the scope of this document. Some information may be
configured (e.g., address, preferences, scope) and other information
may be automatically determined by the PCE (e.g., areas of
visibility).
A change in information in the PCED sub-TLV MUST NOT trigger any SPF
computation at a receiving router.
6. Backward Compatibility
The PCED sub-TLV defined in this document does not introduce any
interoperability issues.
An IS-IS router not supporting the PCED sub-TLV will just silently
ignore the sub-TLV as specified in [RFC4971].
7. IANA Considerations
IANA has defined a registry for the sub-TLVs carried in the IS-IS
Router Capability TLV defined in [RFC4971]. IANA has assigned a new
sub-TLV codepoint for the PCED sub-TLV carried within the Router
Capability TLV.
Value Sub-TLV References

5 PCED sub-TLV (this document)
8. Security Considerations
This document defines IS-IS extensions for PCE discovery within an
administrative domain. Hence the security of the PCE discovery
relies on the security of IS-IS.
Mechanisms defined to ensure authenticity and integrity of IS-IS LSPs
[RFC3567] and their TLVs, can be used to secure the PCED sub-TLV as
well.
IS-IS provides no encryption mechanism for protecting the privacy of
LSPs and, in particular, the privacy of the PCE discovery
information.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
9. Manageability Considerations
Manageability considerations for PCE Discovery are addressed in
Section 4.10 of [RFC4674].
9.1. Control of Policy and Functions
Requirements for the configuration of PCE discovery parameters on
PCCs and PCEs are discussed in Section 4.10.1 of [RFC4674].
In particular, a PCE implementation SHOULD allow the following
parameters to be configured on the PCE:
-The PCE IPv4/IPv6 address(es) (see Section 4.1).
-The PCE Scope, including the inter-domain functions (inter-area,
inter-AS, inter-layer), the preferences, and whether the PCE can
act as default PCE (see Section 4.2).
-The PCE-Domains (see Section 4.3).
-The neighbor PCE-Domains (see Section 4.4).
-The PCE capabilities (see Section 4.5).
9.2. Information and Data Model
A MIB module for PCE Discovery is defined in [PCED-MIB].
9.3. Liveness Detection and Monitoring
This document specifies the use of IS-IS as a PCE Discovery Protocol.
The requirements specified in [RFC4674] include the ability to
determine liveness of the PCE Discovery protocol. Normal operation
of the IS-IS protocol meets these requirements.
9.4. Verify Correct Operations
The correlation of information advertised against information
received can be achieved by comparing the information in the PCED
sub-TLV received by the PCC with that stored at the PCE using the
PCED MIB [PCED-MIB]. The number of dropped, corrupt, and rejected
information elements are available through the PCED MIB.
9.5. Requirements on Other Protocols and Functional Components
The IS-IS extensions defined in this document do not imply any
requirements on other protocols.
Le Roux, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 5089 IS-IS Protocol Extensions for PCE Discovery January 2008
9.6. Impact on Network Operations
Frequent changes in PCE information advertised in the PCED sub-TLV
may have a significant impact on IS-IS and might destabilize the
operation of the network by causing the PCCs to swap between PCEs.
As discussed in Section 4.10.4 of [RFC4674], it MUST be possible to
apply at least the following controls:
- Configurable limit on the rate of announcement of changed
parameters at a PCE.
- Control of the impact on PCCs, such as through rate-limiting
the processing of PCED sub-TLVs.
- Configurable control of triggers that cause a PCC to swap to
another PCE.
