2) Overview of PCE-based path computation – JP (10 minutes)
• Terminology -
PCE: entity capable of computing a (partial/full) path/route of a TE
LSP
 The PCE may or may not be the head-end LSR
 Can be an LSR, router or a server
• PCE  centralized path computation
PCS (S=Server) PCE
 *but* includes both distributed and centralized path computation models
Examples (distributed / cooperative): distributed FRR backup tunnel path
computation in draft-leroux-pce-backup-comp-frwk, distributed inter-domain path
computation (see draft-farrel-ccamp-inter-domain-framework and draft-vasseurccamp-inter-domain-path-comp (in both scenarios))  PCE=LSR
Examples (centralized): centralized GMPLS TE LSP path (draft-choi-pce-e2ecentralized-restoration-srlg and draft-kompella-mpls-multiarea-te-05.txt (scenario 5))
• May be stateless or statefull
• Packet or non-packet, MPLS and GMPLS
The PCE-based approach is *one* approach that can be used so as to solve
specific problems (partial visibility, CPU intensive computation, …) and
4
address specific requirements (shortest path, multi-constraints optimality, …)

Application scenario 1: end-2-end, protected inter-AS TE LSPs with bandwidth
guarantee over delay-optimized multi-AS paths for VoIP and ViIP (conferencing):
Combinations of different TE characteristics in transit ASes makes manual loose-hop configuration for
an optimal path difficult or impossible…
Need to dynamically establish inter-AS TE LSPs across RSP and GSP1 or GSP2 with little coordination
regarding information on the GSP1/GSP2 internal topology vs. interconnect information between

Application scenario 1 (cont.)
For example: CE1 wants to build two TE-LSPs to CE3: voip and viip over RSP and GSP1 or GSp2 via
any of two PE-CE links:
Delay-optimized over real-time (i.e. jitter sensitive) paths
 with the following two different sets of constraints: preemption, CT and bw (voip – subpool; viipglobal pool)
R-PE1 propgates queries
R-ASBR1 and 2 (PCE)
CE1(PCC) sends two requests
for T1&T2 destined to CE3
If PCEs in RSP don’t have paths, queries
sent to PCEs in other ASes…

Requirements for PCE-based
path computation
KDDI Corporation
Kenji Kumaki

60th IETF PCE BOF@SanDiego

Requirements for PCE-based
path computation
• Multi-ASes, inter-SP environments
– Shortest end to end path
• For voice traffic
– Reoptimization for inter-AS TE LSPs
• If FRR acts, end to end path isn’t necessarily shortest path.
• Multi-IGP areas environments
– Scalability for inter-area TE LSPs
– Shortest end to end path
• For voice traffic
– Reoptimization for inter-area TE LSPs
• If FRR acts, end to end path isn’t necessarily shortest path.
9
Why do we need a PCE-based
path computation?
• Multi-ASes, inter-SP environments
– It is difficult to get a shortest end to end path through multi-ASes.
– Head-end router doesn’t have TE information about all of the links
between Head-end and Tail-end. (Tail-end lies in a separate AS.)
• Multi-IGP areas environments
– We’d like to establish inter-area TE LSPs between many routers,
but we face scalability issues because of routing and signaling
overhead.
– It is difficult to get a shortest end to end path through multi-IGP
areas.
– Head-end router doesn’t have TE information about all of the links
between Head-end and Tail-end. (Tail-end lies in a separate area.)
10
Motivations for
PCE Based Path Computation
J.L. Le Roux, France Telecom
11
Head-End CSPF based computation
• Head-End CSPF based computation is sufficient in most cases for the placement of TE-LSPs
– On-demand independent path computation done by Head-End LSRs
– Simplicity, scalability, robustness
• However, there are some particular cases, where TE-LSP computation cannot rely on a HeadEnd CSPF based computation
– Some Complex routing problems requiring high CPU & Memory consuming heuristics:
• Steiner tree computation for P2MP MPLS (NP-hard)
• Multi constraints path computation like e.g. bounded delay minimum cost path (NP-hard)
– Backup Path Computation for bandwidth protection:
• It is difficult to achieve bandwidth sharing between backup tunnels protecting independent
facilities
• No coordination between PLRs => Potential inability to find a backup tunnel placement even
if such a placement exist
– Inter-domain path computation:
• Cannot rely on CSPF that requires the full graph in order to compute an end-to-end shortest
path or a diverse path
12
Usefulness of PCE-based computation
• Useful for complex routing problems (Multi Constraints, Steiner…)
– PCE = Dedicated tool with whole CPU and memory dedicated to path
computation
• Useful for inter-domain e2e shortest/diverse paths computation
– Centralized Computation = A PCE for the whole domain
– Collaborative computation = A PCE per area/AS (ABR or ASBR)
• Recursive CSPF computation
• Useful for backup-path computation
– Backup path computed by a PCE
– Centralized PCE or distributed PCE (an LSR is a PCE for its own protection)
– Allows for complete bandwidth sharing and thus significant bandwidth savings
• Coordinated computation that maximizes the likeliness to find a backup
tunnel placement
when such a placement exist
– See draft-leroux-pce-backup-comp-frwk-00
13
Several High-Level requirements
• Reliable LSR-PCE signaling:
– Acknowledgement…
• Automatic discovery of PCEs and their capabilities
• Scalability:
– Balancing of Path Computation load between PCEs
– Distribute PCE function as far as possible
• For backup path computation the PCE can be the protected node itself
• High Availability:
• Redundancy with backup PCEs…
• PCE load balancing
• Robustness:
– Control of the computation time, to allow for rapid convergence in case of
topology change
– Controlled tradeoff computation time vs. optimality

Potential Application of PCE
Jerry Ash (ATT)
15
 migration of AT&T architecture
 converged voice/data IP/MPLS global network
 legacy TDM voice to VoIP
 QoS CAC with RSVP-TE (DSTE/MAR) (NOTE: not committed)
 PCE for inter-area/AS/SP TE (NOTE: not committed)
 architecture needs
 very large scale network  scalability for TE
 multiple OSPF areas & multiple AS’s  inter-area & inter-AS TE
 network efficiency  desire for shortest TE paths across
areas/AS’s
 needs support adoption of PCE approach
 network-wide view needed to provide realistic grooming
 SP desire for standards-based interoperable solutions

Requirements for PCE-based
P2MP TE path computation
Seisho Yasukawa
NTT
([email protected])
17
Basic backgrounds for P2MP TE
P2MP APL requests P2MP forwarding path with various topologies.
– IP-TV service with high data volume provided by streaming
technology require cost minimum P2MP path.
– Video conference service require delay bounded P2MP path.
– Need wide variety of path computation algorithm (cost minimum
tree, delay minimum tree, delay bounded cost minimum tree etc.).
– Need CPU intensive path computation (Dijkstra, PRIM, KMB,
Kompella etc)
P2MP APL requests sophisticated P2MP Traffic Engineering techniques.
– P2MP backup/load sharing path requires P2MP diverse path
computation.
– Several P2MP grafting operations request P2MP path modification
considering various constrains (e.g. cost/delay).
– Inter-domain P2MP transmission requires P2MP path computation
over multiple domains.
– Need wider communication/coordination between path computation
elements over multiple domains.
18

mechanisms and to select appropriate algorithm/mechanism based on
computation demands.

Inter-AS LSP with hierarchical IGPs
within each AS
ASy
ASx
ASz
21
Considerations
• Multiple ASes owned by a single business entity
• Hierarchical IGP within each AS
• Requirements
– Optimal within each AS, not necessarily across the entire path
• PCE based approach within each individual AS
– No additional Traffic Engineering Policy exchange between the
various ASes
• TE domain would be restricted to each individual AS
– Choice of multiple LSP exit points for each AS could match the
Layer 3 exit points
• Evaluate complexity versus end-to-end optimality for the
inter-AS LSP

4) Functional requirements of a PCE-based path computation system
(10 minutes) JP
• Discovery of PCE in a network
- Static  Dynamic via IGP/BGP extensions (see OSPF and ISIS capability drafts
discussed in OSPF and ISIS WG). Can be used to advertise PCE’caps.
- Allows for load sharing among multiple PCE, PCE survivability (primary, backup),
specialized PCE, …
• Distribution of information to PCE
- Full: Routing adjacency (overload bit set) to get the LSDB,
- Null: exchange of partially computed path between PCEs without any
resource/topology information sharing
• LSR-PCE signaling
Clear requirement for a signaling protocol between an LSR (PCC – Path
Computation Client) and a PCE. Requirement document to be defined. Currently
Multiple solutions have been proposed … Questions:
• Re-use of existing RSVP-TE objects to pass constraints ?
• Connection oriented versus connectionless ?
Requirement doc needed ??
• Reliable,

•…
4) Functional requirements of a PCE-based path computation system
(10 minutes) JP
• Monitoring and management: definition of the set of management objects (number
of requests (satisfied (partially or completely) / non-satisfied), PCE availability, PCE
response time, …
• Policy/Security/Confidentiality: particularly required in the case of inter-domain for
both MPLS and GMPLS.
Example: draft-ietf-tewg-interas-mpls-te-req-07.txt related to Inter-AS TE
requirements:
•“In some cases, policy control might be necessary at the AS boundaries, namely ingress
policy controls enabling SPs to enforce the inter-AS policies per interconnect agreements
or modify some requested parameters conveyed by incoming inter-AS MPLS TE
signaling requests.” (Policy)
•The proposed solution(s) MUST address security issues across multiple SP
administrative domains (Security, authentication)
•Since an inter-AS TE LSP may span multiple ASes belonging to different SPs, the
solution MIGHT allow hiding the set of hops used by the TE LSP within an AS as
illustrated in the following (Confidentiality)

Requirements for Path Computation Element in GMPLS and IP/MPLS Networks
draft-oki-pce-gmpls-req-00.txt
Detail requirements in TE scenarios and functionality
• LSP setup
– Triggered by higher-region LSP setup
• When higher-region LSP is to be setup, PCE decides need for new
lower-region LSPs should be established (and directs setup
optionally).
– Triggered by PCE
• Virtual network topology (VNT) reconfiguration
– Definition: VNT is a collection of various region LSPs treated as a
single region network from the view point of a higher region
– PCE triggers VNT reconfiguration based on traffic demand change,
topology change, and network failure
• PCE collects TE-link information
– Standard opaque TE information
• Reserved LSP bandwidth, GMPLS specific parameters, and
protection type and link type
– Additional information
• Measured traffic volume passing through LSP, LSP route, etc.

correlated paths for protection) and provide additional
constraints.
• Draft has considered the numerous scenarios of
concern to ensure that the mechanisms are available.

Summary of the draft
▣ Main area of PCE : SRLG based path computation
▣ Network Architecture for centralized Control and Path
Computation
 The role of the centralized Controller
 Network and Control Structure
 CP hierarchy architecture for SRLG based P&R
▣ Logical Ring Configuration based on SRLG and PCE
 Conceptual aspects of the logical ring with SRLG
 Concept of segmentation of the logical ring by the
centralized Controller during path computation
 Resource allocation with SRLG by the Controller
▣ Underlying key point : Guaranteed disjoint backup
path establishment and hence extremely Fast P&R
36
Conclusion
▣ The draft introduces a centralized path computation
model for fast P&R in OTNs using SRLG concepts.
▣ Ring SRLG with the centralized Controller guarantees
the survivability of backup paths with constraints to
the other logical ring configurations.
▣ Our proposed integrated P&R provisioning scheme
simplifies and reduces network management
complexity by eliminating cumbersome co-ordination
of provisioning in separate network layers
▣ I propose this as a new work item to the new PCE WG.
▣ Future work:
 Protocol based P&R mechanisms in the ring
 Signaling and Integrated Service Provisioning
