Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extensions for Establishing Relationships between Sets of Label Switched Paths and Virtual Networks
RFC 9358, “Path Computation Element Communication Protocol Extensions for Establishing Relationships between Sets of Label Switched Paths and Virtual Networks”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2023 by Y. Lee, H. Zheng, D. Ceccarelli. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to extend the Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) association mechanism introduced by RFC 8697 to further associate sets of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) with a higher-level structure such as a Virtual Network (VN) requested by a customer or application. This extended association mechanism can be used to facilitate control of a VN using the PCE architecture.
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.
