Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extension for Associating Policies and Label Switched Paths
RFC 9005, “Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extension for Associating Policies and Label Switched Paths”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2021 by S. Litkowski, S. Sivabalan, J. Tantsura, J. Hardwick, C. Li. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document introduces a simple mechanism to associate policies with a group of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) via an extension to the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP). The extension allows a PCEP speaker to advertise to a PCEP peer that a particular LSP belongs to a particular Policy Association Group (PAG).
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
