Path Computation Element Metric Protocol (PCEMP) - A Generic Computational Model for Inter-Domain Path Computation

PCEMP is a protocol used as an application path computation framework for PCE peers in inter-domain scenarios. It maintains an adjacency state and supports peer adjacency through non-participating interior nodes. This draft proposes protocol independent metrics and criteria for path computation techniques.

  1. Path Computation Element Metric Protocol (PCEMP)(draft-choi-pce-metric-protocol-02.txt) PCE WG (63rd. IETF) August 2, 2005 Paris, France Jun Kyun Choi and Dipnarayan Guha (jkchoi@icu.ac.kr, dg236@cornell.edu)

  2. Some FAQs about PCEMP • What is the PCEMP? • It’s a protocol for a generic computational model that is used as an application path computation framework for any PCE “peer” in inter-domain scenarios. • Drives the PCE “peer network” by soft-configuration on supporting network peers. • How does it work? • Maintains a “state” of adjacency by data-driven mapping of external routing information on node routing tables • Soft-configuration, in this context, is defined as a mechanism that splits the network tree into a combination of sparse sub-trees for fast computation. • The network architecture is optimally partitioned into a set of PCEDAs (PCE Domain Areas), which can be one or more Autonomous Systems, inter-domains etc.

  3. Support for peer adjacency through non-participating interior nodes Protocol is generic, PCEMP maintains adjacencies over inter-domains and multi-layer networks by considering them as opaque Data-driven mechanism for protocol FSM execution is flow based  no additional configuration updates necessary to PCEs attached to networks Partitioning the virtual network into PCE Domain Areas (PCEDAs) In-line with the protocol architecture that provides branch-wise granularity in data protection within an autonomous system In the peer service model, the provider partitions the TE links within the provider network per client solicitation, and discloses per client TE link info to corresponding clients  Partitioning into PCEDAs with PCEMP is a direct driver to this Main features of PCEMP

  6. PCE WG protocol standardization pointers • PCEMP is a generic routing and path computation protocol targeted towards inter-domain PCE peers that runs on any PCE unit that is capable of computing a path based on an ordered graph • This draft proposes to elucidate protocol independent metrics defining path quality measurement criteria, algorithm complexity and scalability criteria related to path computation techniques through the PCEMP and is in line with the PCE WG Charter • This draft is an independent effort in the PCE WG and comes out with results very much in striking alignment with the protocol requirements spec
