RFC 8231: Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for Stateful PCE

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8786, RFC 9353, RFC 9753, RFC 9756, RFC 9862. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation Client (PCC) requests. Although PCEP explicitly makes no assumptions regarding the information available to the PCE, it also makes no provisions for PCE control of timing and sequence of path computations within and across PCEP sessions. This document describes a set of extensions to PCEP to enable stateful control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) via PCEP.
