Page - 2 Problems without Stateful PCE Receive PCReq Path computation complete (per-PCE) End-to-end path computation complete RSVP signalling complete OSPF flooding update Time T 1T 2T 3T 4 T 5 In network failure, a large number of LSPs need to be restored within very short time: During restoration, same resource maybe assigned to two or more different requests (from T2 to T5), retry is needed. Within the time window (T4 to T5), PCE will not know the LSPs failed to be created or the released LSPs, if the bandwith change below the bandwith threshold of IGP (this time window may last for half an in the IGP aging case). The restoration LSP may not succeed.

Page - 5 PCEP Extensions Notification-type=3: end-to-end path computation result – Notification-value=1: end-to-end path computation success. – Notification-value=2: end-to-end path computation failure. ::= ::= [ ] ::= [ ][ ] := [ ] := ::= [ ] – Both type 3 and type 4 Notification can carry the in the PCNtf Message. Notification-type=4: path delete – Notification-value=1: path delete

Page - 6 Centralized PCE After path computation, stateful PCE will save the computed result and reserve resources immediately If LSP signaling failed, PCC should notify PCE to release resources from its TED: – Notification-type=4, Notification-value=1 – PCNtf optinally carries to indicate which path should delete – A timer maybe needed according to local policy

Page - 10 Next Steps Refine it according to the feedback from the meeting or mailing list. Maybe more scenarios of stateful PCE need to be identified.
