    <abstract>
   <t>The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a core component of Software-
   Defined Networking (SDN) systems.  It can compute optimal paths for
   traffic across a network and can also update the paths to reflect
   changes in the network or traffic demands.</t>

   <t>The PCE has been identified as an
   appropriate technology for the determination of the paths of point-
   to-multipoint (P2MP) TE Label Switched Paths (LSPs).</t>

   <t>PCE was developed to derive paths for MPLS P2MP LSPs, 
    which are supplied to the head end (root) of the LSP using PCEP. 
    PCEP has been proposed as a control protocol to allow the 
    PCE to be fully enabled as a central controller.</t>

   <t>A PCE-based central controller (PCECC) can
   simplify the processing of a distributed control plane by blending it
   with elements of SDN and without necessarily completely replacing it. 
   Thus, the P2MP LSP can be
   calculated/setup/initiated and the label forwarding entries can also be
   downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network devices
   along the P2MP path while leveraging the existing PCE technologies as
   much as possible.</t>

   <t>This document specifies the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions for
   using the PCE as the central controller for P2MP TE LSP.

    <section title="Introduction"
             toc="default">
   <t>The Path Computation Element (PCE) <xref target='RFC4655'/> was developed to offload
   path computation function from routers in an MPLS traffic-engineered
   network.  Since then, the role and function of the PCE has grown to
   cover a number of other uses (such as GMPLS <xref target='RFC7025'/>) and to allow
   delegated control <xref target='RFC8231'/> and PCE-initiated use of network
   resources <xref target='RFC8281'/>.</t>

   <t>According to <xref target='RFC7399'/>, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) refers to a
   separation between the control elements and the forwarding components
   so that software running in a centralized system, called a
   controller, can act to program the devices in the network to behave
   in specific ways.  A required element in an SDN architecture is a
   component that plans how the network resources will be used and how
   the devices will be programmed.  It is possible to view this
   component as performing specific computations to place traffic flows
   within the network given knowledge of the availability of network
   resources, how other forwarding devices are programmed, and the way
   that other flows are routed.  This is the function and purpose of a
   PCE, and the way that a PCE integrates into a wider network control
   system (including an SDN system) is presented in <xref target='RFC7491'/>.</t>

   <t>In early PCE implementations, where the PCE was used to derive paths
   for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs), paths were requested by network
   elements (known as Path Computation Clients (PCCs)), and the results
   of the path computations were supplied to network elements using the
   Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) <xref target='RFC5440'/>.
   This protocol was later extended to allow a PCE to send unsolicited
   requests to the network for LSP establishment <xref target='RFC8281'/>.</t>

   <t><xref target='RFC8283'/> introduces the architecture for PCE as a central
   controller as an extension of the architecture described in <xref target='RFC4655'/>
   and assumes the continued use of PCEP as the protocol used between
   PCE and PCC. <xref target='RFC8283'/>  further examines the motivations and applicability
   for PCEP as a Southbound Interface (SBI), and introduces the implications for the
   protocol.  </t>
   
   <t>A PCE-based central controller (PCECC) can
   simplify the processing of a distributed control plane by blending it
   with elements of SDN and without necessarily completely replacing it. 
   Thus, the LSP can be
   calculated/setup/initiated and the label forwarding entries can also be
   downloaded through a centralized PCE server to each network devices
   along the path while leveraging the existing PCE technologies as
   much as possible.</t>

   <t><xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/> specify the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions for
   using the PCE as the central controller for static P2P LSPs, where 
   LSPs can be provisioned as explicit label instructions at each
   hop on the end-to-end path.  Each router along the path must be
   told what label-forwarding instructions to program and what resources
   to reserve.  The PCE-based controller keeps a view of the network and
   determines the paths of the end-to-end LSPs, and the controller uses PCEP to
   communicate with each router along the path of the end-to-end LSP. </t>
   
      <t>
      <xref target="RFC4857" /> describes how to set up
      point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Traffic Engineering Label Switched
      Paths (TE LSPs) for use in Multiprotocol Label Switching
      (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks. The PCE has
      been identified as a suitable application for the computation
      of paths for P2MP TE LSPs (<xref target="RFC5671"/>). 
      The extensions of PCEP to request
      path computation for P2MP TE LSPs are described in
      <xref target="RFC8306" />. Further <xref target="RFC8623"/>
      specify the extensions that are necessary in
      order for the deployment of stateful PCEs to support P2MP TE
      LSPs as well as the setup, maintenance and
      teardown of PCE-initiated P2MP LSPs under the stateful PCE
      model.
    </t>

    <t>This document extends <xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/> to specify the procedures and PCEP protocol extensions for
   using the PCE as the central controller for static P2MP LSPs, where 
   LSPs can be provisioned as explicit label instructions at each
   hop on the end-to-end path with an added functionality of a P2MP branch node. As per <xref target="RFC4875"/>, a branch node is an LSR that replicates the incoming data on
   to one or more outgoing interfaces. <xref target='I-D.ietf-teas-pcecc-use-cases'/> describes the use cases for P2MP in
   PCECC architecture.</t>




   <!--<t>[Important Note - Note that this document achieves this by defining a new PCEP message. 
    The authors and WG also debated on the use of existing PCEP messages. 
    <xref target="Procedures"/> defines the first approach where as <xref target="appendix"/>  
    defines the latter. The authors are open to either of the approach and
    will follow the direction of the WG.]</t>-->

    <t>As described in <xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/>, in this mode LSPs are provisioned as explicit label instructions at each
   hop on the end-to-end path.  Each router along the path must be
   told what label forwarding instructions to program and what resources
   to reserve.  The controller uses PCEP to communicate with each router
   along the path of the end-to-end LSP. Note that the PCE-based controller will take responsibility for
   managing some part of the MPLS label space for each of the routers
   that it controls, and may taker wider responsibility for partitioning
   the label space for each router and allocating different parts for
   different uses. This is also described in section 3.1.2. of 
   <xref target='RFC8283'/>. For the purpose
   of this document, it is assumed that label range to be used by a PCE
   is known and set on both PCEP peers. A future extension could add this capability to
   advertise the range via possible PCEP extensions as well.</t>

  <t>This document extends the functionality to include support for central control instruction for replication at the branch nodes.</t>

   <t><xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/> also defines the PCECC Capability sub-TLV. A new M-bit is added in PCECC-CAPABILITY TLV to indicate support for

   STATEFUL-PCE-CAPABILITY TLV with P2MP bits set (<xref target="RFC8623"/>) in OPEN Object
   to support the PCECC P2MP extensions defined in this document.  If
   M-bit is set in PCECC-CAPABILITY TLV and N-bit in STATEFUL-PCE-CAPABILITY TLV is not

    <t>When a PCE receives PCRpt message with D flags and PST Type set, it calculates the P2MP tree and assigns labels along the

   along the path of the LSP, similar to <xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/>. The new extension required is the instructions on the branch nodes for replications to more than one outgoing interfaces with respective labels.

<t>PCECC would provision each node along the path and assign incoming and outgoing labels from R1 to {R6, R8} with the
   path: {R1, 6000}, {6000, R2, {9001,9002}}, {9001, R4, 9003}, {9002, R5, 9004} {9003, R3, 9005}, {9004, R6}, {9005, R8}. The operations on all nodes except R2 are same as <xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/>. The branch node (R2) needs to be instructed to replicate two copies of the incoming packet, and sent towards R4 and R5 with 9001 and 9002 labels respectively). This done via including 3 instances of CCI objects in the PCEP messages, one for each label in the example, 6000 for incoming and 9001/9002 for outgoing (along with remote nexthop). The message and procedure remains exactly as <xref target="I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-extension-for-pce-controller"/> with only distinction that more than one outgoing CCI MAY be present for the P2MP LSP.</t>

    <t>This document adds a new flag (M-bit) in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV to indicate the support for P2MP in PCECC. A PCC MUST set M-bit in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV and 
    set the N (P2MP-CAPABILITY), M (P2MP-LSP-UPDATE-CAPABILITY), and P (P2MP-LSP-INSTANTIATION-CAPABILITY) (as per <xref target='RFC8623'/>) in STATEFUL-PCE-CAPABILITY TLV <xref target='RFC8231'></xref>
   to support the PCECC P2MP extensions defined in this document.  If
   M-bit is set in PCECC-CAPABILITY sub-TLV and the P2MP bits in STATEFUL-PCE-CAPABILITY TLV are not set
   in OPEN Object, PCE SHOULD send a PCErr message with
   Error-Type=19 (Invalid Operation) and Error-value=TBD(P2MP capability
   was not advertised) and terminate the session.</t>
