                  PCEP Extensions for Segment Routing
                   draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-13

Abstract

   Segment Routing (SR) enables any head-end node to select any path
   without relying on a hop-by-hop signaling technique (e.g., LDP or
   RSVP-TE).  It depends only on "segments" that are advertised by Link-
   State Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs).  A Segment Routed Path can
   be derived from a variety of mechanisms, including an IGP Shortest
   Path Tree (SPT), explicit configuration, or a Path Computation
   Element (PCE).  This document specifies extensions to the Path
   Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) that allow a
   stateful PCE to compute and initiate Traffic Engineering (TE) paths,
   as well as a PCC to request a path subject to certain constraints and
   optimization criteria in SR networks.
