Overview

RFC 8623, “Stateful Path Computation Element Protocol Extensions for Usage with Point-to-Multipoint TE Label Switched Paths”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2019 by U. Palle, D. Dhody, Y. Tanaka, V. Beeram. It has since been updated by RFC 9756. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Path Computation Element (PCE) has been identified as an appropriate technology for the determination of the paths of point- to-multipoint (P2MP) TE Label Switched Paths (LSPs). This document provides extensions required for the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) so as to enable the usage of a stateful PCE capability in supporting P2MP TE LSPs.

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means
