   PCEP Extensions for Segment Routing leveraging the IPv6 data plane
                 draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-ipv6-11

Abstract

   The Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) architecture
   describes how Segment Routing (SR) can be used to steer packets
   through an IPv6 or MPLS network using the source routing paradigm.
   SR enables any head-end node to select any path without relying on a
   hop-by-hop signaling technique (e.g., LDP or RSVP-TE).

   It depends only on "segments" that are advertised by Link- State
   IGPs.  A Segment Routed Path can be derived from a variety of
   mechanisms, including an IGP Shortest Path Tree (SPT), explicit
   configuration, or a Path Computation Element (PCE).

   Since SR can be applied to both MPLS and IPv6 forwarding plane, a PCE
   should be able to compute SR-Path for both MPLS and IPv6 forwarding
   plane.  This document describes the extensions required for SR
   support for IPv6 data plane in Path Computation Element communication
   Protocol (PCEP).  The PCEP extension and mechanism to support SR-MPLS
   is described in RFC 8664.  This document extends it to support SRv6
   (SR over IPv6).

1.  Introduction

   As per [RFC8402], with Segment Routing (SR), a node steers a packet
   through an ordered list of instructions, called segments.  A segment
   can represent any instruction, topological or service-based.  A
   segment can have a semantic local to an SR node or global within an
   SR domain.  SR allows to enforce a flow through any path and service
   chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node of
   the SR domain.  Segments can be derived from different components:
   IGP, BGP, Services, Contexts, Locater, etc.  The list of segment
   forming the path is called the Segment List and is encoded in the
   packet header.  Segment Routing can be applied to the IPv6
   architecture with the Segment Routing Header (SRH) [RFC8754].  A
   segment is encoded as an IPv6 address.  An ordered list of segments
   is encoded as an ordered list of IPv6 addresses in the routing
   header.  The active segment is indicated by the Destination Address
   of the packet.  Upon completion of a segment, a pointer in the new
   routing header is incremented and indicates the next segment.

Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   Segment Routing use cases are described in [RFC7855] and [RFC8354].
   Segment Routing protocol extensions are defined in [RFC8667], and
   [RFC8666].

   As per [RFC8754], an SRv6 Segment is a 128-bit value.  "SRv6 SID" or
   simply "SID" are often used as a shorter reference for "SRv6
   Segment".  Further details are in an illustration provided in
   [RFC8986].

   The SR architecture can be applied to the MPLS forwarding plane
   without any change, in which case an SR path corresponds to an MPLS
   Label Switching Path (LSP).  The SR is applied to IPV6 forwarding
   plane using SRH.  A SR path can be derived from an IGP Shortest Path
   Tree (SPT), but SR-TE paths may not follow IGP SPT.  Such paths may
   be chosen by a suitable network planning tool, or a PCE and
   provisioned on the ingress node.

   [RFC5440] describes Path Computation Element communication Protocol
   (PCEP) for communication between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and
   a Path Computation Element (PCE) or between a pair of PCEs.  A PCE or
   a PCC operating as a PCE (in hierarchical PCE environment) computes
   paths for MPLS Traffic Engineering LSPs (MPLS-TE LSPs) based on
   various constraints and optimization criteria.  [RFC8231] specifies
   extensions to PCEP that allow a stateful PCE to compute and recommend
   network paths in compliance with [RFC4657] and defines objects and
   TLVs for MPLS-TE LSPs.  Stateful PCEP extensions provide
   synchronization of LSP state between a PCC and a PCE or between a
   pair of PCEs, delegation of LSP control, reporting of LSP state from
   a PCC to a PCE, controlling the setup and path routing of an LSP from
   a PCE to a PCC.  Stateful PCEP extensions are intended for an
   operational model in which LSPs are configured on the PCC, and
   control over them is delegated to the PCE.

   A mechanism to dynamically initiate LSPs on a PCC based on the
   requests from a stateful PCE or a controller using stateful PCE is
   specified in [RFC8281].  As per [RFC8664], it is possible to use a
   stateful PCE for computing one or more SR-TE paths taking into
   account various constraints and objective functions.  Once a path is
   chosen, the stateful PCE can initiate an SR-TE path on a PCC using
   PCEP extensions specified in [RFC8281] using the SR specific PCEP
   extensions specified in [RFC8664].  [RFC8664] specifies PCEP
   extensions for supporting a SR-TE LSP for MPLS data plane.  This
   document extends [RFC8664] to support SR for IPv6 data plane.
   Additionally, using procedures described in this document, a PCC can
   request an SRv6 path from either stateful or a stateless PCE.  This
   specification relies on the PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV and procedures
   specified in [RFC8408].

Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   This specification provides a mechanism for a network controller
   (acting as a PCE) to instantiate candidate paths for an SR Policy
   onto a head-end node (acting as a PCC) using PCEP.  For more
   information on the SR Policy Architecture, see
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

2.  Terminology

   This document uses the following terms defined in [RFC5440]: PCC,
   PCE, PCEP Peer.

   This document uses the following terms defined in [RFC8051]: Stateful
   PCE, Delegation.

   The message formats in this document are specified using Routing
   Backus-Naur Format (RBNF) encoding as specified in [RFC5511].

   NAI:  Node or Adjacency Identifier.

   PCC:  Path Computation Client.

   PCE:  Path Computation Element.

   PCEP:  Path Computation Element Protocol.

   SR:  Segment Routing.

   SID:  Segment Identifier.

   SRv6:  Segment Routing for IPv6 forwarding plane.

   SRH:  IPv6 Segment Routing Header.

   SR Path:  IPv6 Segment List (List of IPv6 SIDs representing a path in
      IPv6 SR domain)

   Further, note that the term LSP used in the PCEP specifications,
   would be equivalent to a SRv6 Path (represented as a list of SRv6
   segments) in the context of supporting SRv6 in PCEP.

3.  Overview of PCEP Operation in SRv6 Networks

   Basic operations for PCEP speakers is as per [RFC8664].  SRv6 Paths
   computed by a PCE can be represented as an ordered list of SRv6
   segments of 128-bit value.  "SRv6 SID" or simply "SID" are often used
   as a shorter reference for "SRv6 Segment" in this document.

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                  [Page 5]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   [RFC8664] defined a new Explicit Route Object (ERO) subobject denoted
   by "SR-ERO subobject" capable of carrying a SID as well as the
   identity of the node/adjacency represented by the SID.  SR-capable
   PCEP speakers should be able to generate and/or process such ERO
   subobject.  An ERO containing SR-ERO subobjects can be included in
   the PCEP Path Computation Reply (PCRep) message defined in [RFC5440],
   the PCEP LSP Initiate Request message (PCInitiate) defined in
   [RFC8281], as well as in the PCEP LSP Update Request (PCUpd) and PCEP
   LSP State Report (PCRpt) messages defined in defined in [RFC8231].

   This document define new subobjects "SRv6-ERO" and "SRv6-RRO" in ERO
   and RRO respectively to carry SRv6 SID (IPv6 Address).  SRv6-capable
   PCEP speakers MUST be able to generate and/or process this.

   When a PCEP session between a PCC and a PCE is established, both PCEP
   speakers exchange their capabilities to indicate their ability to
   support SRv6 specific functionality.

   In summary, this document:

   *  Defines a new PCEP capability for SRv6.

   *  Defines a new subobject SRv6-ERO in ERO.

   *  Defines a new subobject SRv6-RRO in RRO.

   *  Defines a new path setup type carried in the PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV
      and the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV.

3.1.  Operation Overview

   In SR networks, an ingress node of an SR path appends all outgoing
   packets with an SR header consisting of a list of SIDs (IPv6 Prefix
   in case of SRv6).  The header has all necessary information to guide
   the packets from the ingress node to the egress node of the path, and
   hence there is no need for any signaling protocol.

   For IPv6 in control plane with MPLS data-plane, mechanism remains
   same as [RFC8664]

   This document describes extensions to SR path for IPv6 data plane.
   SRv6 Path (i.e.  ERO) consists of an ordered set of SRv6 SIDs(see
   details in Figure 2).

   A PCC or PCE indicates its ability to support SRv6 during the PCEP
   session Initialization Phase via a new SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV
   (see details in Section 4.1.1).

Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

3.2.  SRv6-Specific PCEP Message Extensions

   As defined in [RFC5440], a PCEP message consists of a common header
   followed by a variable length body made up of mandatory and/or
   optional objects.  This document does not require any changes in the
   format of PCReq and PCRep messages specified in [RFC5440], PCInitiate
   message specified in [RFC8281], and PCRpt and PCUpd messages
   specified in [RFC8231].  However, PCEP messages pertaining to SRv6
   MUST include PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV in the RP or SRP object to clearly
   identify that SRv6 is intended.

4.  Object Formats

4.1.  The OPEN Object

4.1.1.  The SRv6 PCE Capability sub-TLV

   This document defines a new Path Setup Type (PST) [RFC8408] for SRv6,
   as follows:

   *  PST = TBD2: Path is setup using SRv6.

   A PCEP speaker MUST indicate its support of the function described in
   this document by sending a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV in the OPEN
   object with this new PST included in the PST list.

   This document also defines the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV.  PCEP
   speakers use this sub-TLV to exchange information about their SRv6
   capability.  If a PCEP speaker includes PST=TBD2 in the PST List of
   the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV then it MUST also include the
   SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV inside the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY
   TLV.

   The format of the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV is shown in the
   following figure:

                Figure 1: SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV format

   The code point for the TLV type (TBD1) is to be defined by IANA.  The
   TLV length is variable.

   The value comprises of -

      Reserved: 2 octet, this field MUST be set to 0 on transmission,
      and ignored on receipt.

      Flags: 2 octet, two bits are currently assigned in this document.

      -  N bit: A PCC sets this flag bit to 1 to indicate that it is
         capable of resolving a Node or Adjacency Identifier (NAI) to a
         SRv6-SID.

      -  X bit: A PCC sets this bit to 1 to indicate that it does not
         impose any limit on MSD (irrespective of the MSD-Type).

      -  Unassigned bits MUST be set to 0 and ignored on receipt.

      A pair of (MSD-Type, MSD-Value): Where MSD-Type (1 octet) is as
      per the IGP MSD Type registry created by [RFC8491] and populated
      with SRv6 MSD types as per [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions];
      MSD-Value (1 octet) is as per [RFC8491].

   This sub-TLV format is compliant with the PCEP TLV format defined in
   [RFC5440].  That is, the sub-TLV is composed of 2 octets for the
   type, 2 octets specifying the length, and a Value field.  The Type
   field when set to TBD1 identifies the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV and
   the presence of the sub-TLV indicates the support for the SRv6 paths
   in PCEP.  The Length field defines the length of the value portion in
   octets.  The TLV is padded to 4-octet alignment, and padding is not
   included in the Length field.  The number of (MSD-Type,MSD-Value)
   pairs can be determined from the Length field of the TLV.

   In order to indicate the SRv6 path, RP or SRP object MUST include the
   PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV specified in [RFC8408].  This document defines a
   new Path Setup Type (PST=TBD2) for SRv6.

   The LSP-IDENTIFIERS TLV MAY be present for the above PST type.

4.3.  ERO

   In order to support SRv6, new subobject "SRv6-ERO" is defined in ERO.

4.3.1.  SRv6-ERO Subobject

   An SRv6-ERO subobject is formatted as shown in the following figure.

                    Figure 2: SRv6-ERO Subobject Format

   The fields in the SRv6-ERO Subobject are as follows:

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                  [Page 9]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   The 'L' Flag: Indicates whether the subobject represents a loose-hop
   (see [RFC3209]).  If this flag is set to zero, a PCC MUST NOT
   overwrite the SID value present in the SRv6-ERO subobject.
   Otherwise, a PCC MAY expand or replace one or more SID values in the
   received SRv6-ERO based on its local policy.

   Type: indicates the content of the subobject, i.e. when the field is
   set to TBD3, the suboject is a SRv6-ERO subobject representing a SRv6
   SID.

   Length: Contains the total length of the subobject in octets.  The
   Length MUST be at least 24, and MUST be a multiple of 4.  An SRv6-ERO
   subobject MUST contain at least one of a SRv6-SID or an NAI.  The S
   and F bit in the Flags field indicates whether the SRv6-SID or NAI
   fields are absent.

   NAI Type (NT): Indicates the type and format of the NAI contained in
   the object body, if any is present.  If the F bit is set to zero (see
   below) then the NT field has no meaning and MUST be ignored by the
   receiver.  This document reuses NT types defined in [RFC8664]:

      If NT value is 0, the NAI MUST NOT be included.

      When NT value is 2, the NAI is as per the 'IPv6 Node ID' format
      defined in [RFC8664], which specifies an IPv6 address.  This is
      used to identify the owner of the SRv6 Identifier.  This is
      optional, as the LOC (the locater portion) of the SRv6 SID serves
      a similar purpose (when present).

      When NT value is 4, the NAI is as per the 'IPv6 Adjacency' format
      defined in [RFC8664], which specify a pair of IPv6 addresses.
      This is used to identify the IPv6 Adjacency and used with the SRv6
      Adj-SID.

      When NT value is 6, the NAI is as per the 'link-local IPv6
      addresses' format defined in [RFC8664], which specify a pair of
      (global IPv6 address, interface ID) tuples.  It is used to
      identify the IPv6 Adjacency and used with the SRv6 Adj-SID.

      SR-MPLS specific NT types are not valid in SRv6-ERO.

   Flags: Used to carry additional information pertaining to the
   SRv6-SID.  This document defines the following flag bits.  The other
   bits MUST be set to zero by the sender and MUST be ignored by the
   receiver.

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   *  S: When this bit is set to 1, the SRv6-SID value in the subobject
      body is absent.  In this case, the PCC is responsible for choosing
      the SRv6-SID value, e.g., by looking up in the SR-DB using the NAI
      which, in this case, MUST be present in the subobject.  If the S
      bit is set to 1 then F bit MUST be set to zero.

   *  F: When this bit is set to 1, the NAI value in the subobject body
      is absent.  The F bit MUST be set to 1 if NT=0, and otherwise MUST
      be set to zero.  The S and F bits MUST NOT both be set to 1.

   *  T: When this bit is set to 1, the SID Structure value in the
      subobject body is present.  The T bit MUST be set to 0 when S bit
      is set to 1.  If the T bit is set when the S bit is set, the T bit
      MUST be ignored.  Thus, the T bit indicates the presence of an
      optional 8-byte SID Structure when SRv6 SID is included.  The SID
      Structure is defined in Section 4.3.1.1.

   *  V: The "SID verification" bit usage is as per Section 5.1 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   Reserved: MUST be set to zero while sending and ignored on receipt.

   Endpoint Behavior: A 16 bit field representing the behavior
   associated with the SRv6 SIDs.  This information is optional and
   plays no role in the fields in SRH imposed on the packet.  It could
   be used for maintainability and diagnostic purpose.  If behavior is
   not known, 0 is used.  The list of Endpoint behavior are defined in
   [RFC8986].

   SRv6 SID: SRv6 Identifier is the 128 bit IPv6 addresses representing
   the SRv6 segment.

   NAI: The NAI associated with the SRv6-SID.  The NAI's format depends
   on the value in the NT field, and is described in [RFC8664].

   At least one of the SRv6-SID or the NAI MUST be included in the
   SRv6-ERO subobject, and both MAY be included.

4.3.1.1.  SID Structure

   The SID Structure is an optional part of the SR-ERO subobject, as
   described in Section 4.3.1.  It is formatted as shown in the
   following figure.

   Fun. Length: 1 octet.  SRv6 SID Function length in bits.

   Arg. Length: 1 octet.  SRv6 SID Arguments length in bits.

   The sum of all four sizes in the SID Structure must be lower or equal
   to 128 bits.  If the sum of all four sizes advertised in the SID
   Structure is larger than 128 bits, the corresponding SRv6 SID MUST be
   considered as an Error.  A PCErr message with Error-Type = 10
   ("Reception of an invalid object") and Error-Value = TBD ("Invalid
   SRv6 SID Structure").

   Reserved: MUST be set to zero while sending and ignored on receipt.

   Flags: Currentky no flags are defined.  Unassigned bits must be set
   to zero while sending and ignored on receipt.

   The SRv6 SID Structure TLV provides the detailed encoding information
   of an SRv6 SID, which is useful in the use cases that require to know
   the SRv6 SID structure.  When a PCEP speaker receives the SRv6 SID
   and its structure information, the SRv6 SID can be parsed based on
   the SRv6 SID Structure TLV and/or possible local policies.  The
   cunsumers of SRv6 SID structure MAY be other use cases, and the
   processing and usage of SRv6 SID structure TLV are different based on
   use cases.  This is out of the scope of this document, and will be
   described in other documents.

4.4.  RRO

   In order to support SRv6, new subobject "SRv6-RRO" is defined in RRO.

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

4.4.1.  SRv6-RRO Subobject

   A PCC reports an SRv6 path to a PCE by sending a PCRpt message, per
   [RFC8231].  The RRO on this message represents the SID list that was
   applied by the PCC, that is, the actual path taken.  The procedures
   of [RFC8664] with respect to the RRO apply equally to this
   specification without change.

   An RRO contains one or more subobjects called "SRv6-RRO subobjects"
   whose format is shown below:

       0                   1                   2                   3

                    Figure 4: SRv6-RRO Subobject Format

   The format of the SRv6-RRO subobject is the same as that of the
   SRv6-ERO subobject, but without the L flag.

   The V flag has no meaning in the SRv6-RRO and is ignored on receipt
   at the PCE.

   Ordering of SRv6-RRO subobjects by PCC in PCRpt message remains as
   per [RFC8664].

5.  Procedures

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

5.1.  Exchanging the SRv6 Capability

   A PCC indicates that it is capable of supporting the head-end
   functions for SRv6 by including the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV in
   the Open message that it sends to a PCE.  A PCE indicates that it is
   capable of computing SRv6 paths by including the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY
   sub-TLV in the Open message that it sends to a PCC.

   If a PCEP speaker receives a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV with a
   PST list containing PST=TBD2, but the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV is
   absent, then the PCEP speaker MUST send a PCErr message with Error-
   Type 10 (Reception of an invalid object) and Error-Value TBD5 (to be
   assigned by IANA) (Missing PCE-SRv6-CAPABILITY sub-TLV) and MUST then
   close the PCEP session.  If a PCEP speaker receives a PATH-SETUP-
   TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV with a SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV, but the PST
   list does not contain PST=TBD2, then the PCEP speaker MUST ignore the
   SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV.

   The number of SRv6 SIDs that can be imposed on a packet depends on
   the PCC's IPv6 data plane's capability.  If a PCC sets the X flag to
   1 then the MSD is not used and MUST NOT be included.  If a PCE
   receives an SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV with the X flag set to 1 then
   it MUST ignore any MSD-Type, MSD-Value fields and MUST assume that
   the sender can impose any length of SRH.  If a PCC sets the X flag to
   zero, then it sets the SRv6 MSD-Type, MSD-Value fields that it can
   impose on a packet.  If a PCE receives an SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV
   with the X flag and SRv6 MSD-Type, MSD-Value fields both set to zero
   then it is considered as an error and the PCE MUST respond with a
   PCErr message (Error-Type=1 "PCEP session establishment failure" and
   Error-Value=1 "reception of an invalid Open message or a non Open
   message.").  In case the MSD-Type in SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV
   received by the PCE does not correspond to one of the SRv6 MSD types,
   the PCE MUST respond with a PCErr message (Error-Type=1 "PCEP session
   establishment failure" and Error-Value=1 "reception of an invalid
   Open message or a non Open message.").

   Note that the MSD-Type, MSD-Value exchanged via the SRv6-PCE-
   CAPABILITY sub-TLV indicates the SRv6 SID imposition limit for the
   PCC node.  However, if a PCE learns these via different means, e.g
   routing protocols, as specified in:
   [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions];
   [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]; [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext],
   then it ignores the values in the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV.
   Furthermore, whenever a PCE learns the other advanced SRv6 MSD via
   different means, it MUST use that value regardless of the values
   exchanged in the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV.

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   Once an SRv6-capable PCEP session is established with a non-zero SRv6
   MSD value, the corresponding PCE MUST NOT send SRv6 paths with a
   number of SIDs exceeding that SRv6 MSD value (based on the SRv6 MSD
   Type).  If a PCC needs to modify the SRv6 MSD value, it MUST close
   the PCEP session and re-establish it with the new value.  If a PCEP
   session is established with a non-zero SRv6 MSD value, and the PCC
   receives an SRv6 path containing more SIDs than specified in the SRv6
   MSD value (based on the SRv6 MSD type), the PCC MUST send a PCErr
   message with Error-Type 10 (Reception of an invalid object) and
   Error-Value 3 (Unsupported number of Segment ERO subobjects).  If a
   PCEP session is established with an SRv6 MSD value of zero, then the
   PCC MAY specify an SRv6 MSD for each path computation request that it
   sends to the PCE, by including a "maximum SID depth" metric object on
   the request similar to [RFC8664].

   The N flag, X flag and (MSD-Type,MSD-Value) pair inside the SRv6-PCE-
   CAPABILITY sub-TLV are meaningful only in the Open message sent from
   a PCC to a PCE.  As such, a PCE MUST set the flags to zero and not
   include any (MSD-Type,MSD-Value) pair in the SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-
   TLV in an outbound message to a PCC.  Similarly, a PCC MUST ignore
   N,X flag and any (MSD-Type,MSD-Value) pair received from a PCE.  If a
   PCE receives multiple SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLVs in an Open
   message, it processes only the first sub-TLV received.

5.2.  ERO Processing

   The ERO processing remains as per [RFC5440] and [RFC8664].

5.2.1.  SRv6 ERO Validation

   If a PCC does not support the SRv6 PCE Capability and thus cannot
   recognize the SRv6-ERO or SRv6-RRO subobjects, it will respond
   according to the rules for a malformed object per [RFC5440].

   On receiving an SRv6-ERO, a PCC MUST validate that the Length field,
   the S bit, the F bit, the T bit, and the NT field are consistent, as
   follows.

   *  If NT=0, the F bit MUST be 1, the S bit MUST be zero and the
      Length MUST be 24.

   *  If NT=2, the F bit MUST be zero.  If the S bit is 1, the Length
      MUST be 24, otherwise the Length MUST be 40.

   *  If NT=4, the F bit MUST be zero.  If the S bit is 1, the Length
      MUST be 40, otherwise the Length MUST be 56.

Li, et al.                Expires 15 July 2022                 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

   *  If NT=6, the F bit MUST be zero.  If the S bit is 1, the Length
      MUST be 48, otherwise the Length MUST be 64.

   *  NT types (1,3, and 5) are not valid for SRv6.

   *  If T bit is 1, then S bit MUST be zero.

   If a PCC finds that the NT field, Length field, S bit, F bit, and T
   bit are not consistent, it MUST consider the entire ERO invalid and
   MUST send a PCErr message with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception of an
   invalid object") and Error-Value = 11 ("Malformed object").

   If a PCEP speaker that does not recognize the NT value received in
   SRv6-ERO subobject, it would behave as per [RFC8664].

   In case a PCEP speaker receives the SRv6-ERO subobject, when the PST
   is not set to TBD2 or SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY sub-TLV was not exchanged,
   it MUST send a PCErr message with Error-Type = 19 ("Invalid
   Operation") and Error-Value = TBD9 ("Attempted SRv6 when the
   capability was not advertised").

   If a PCC receives a list of SRv6 segments, and the number of SRv6
   segments exceeds the SRv6 MSD that the PCC can impose on the packet
   (SRH), it MUST send a PCErr message with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception
   of an invalid object") and Error-Value = TBD ("Unsupported number of
   Segment ERO subobjects") as per [RFC8664].

   When a PCEP speaker detects that all subobjects of ERO are not of
   type TBD3, and if it does not handle such ERO, it MUST send a PCErr
   message with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception of an invalid object") and
   Error-Value = TBD ("Non-identical ERO subobjects")as per [RFC8664].

5.2.2.  Interpreting the SRv6-ERO

   The SRv6-ERO contains a sequence of subobjects.  According to
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy], each SRv6-ERO subobject in
   the sequence identifies a segment that the traffic will be directed
   to, in the order given.  That is, the first subobject identifies the
   first segment the traffic will be directed to, the second SRv6-ERO
   subobject represents the second segment, and so on.

   The PCC interprets the SRv6-ERO by converting it to an SRv6 SRH plus
   a next hop.  The PCC sends packets along the segment routed path by
   prepending the SRH onto the packets and sending the resulting,
   modified packet to the next hop.

Internet-Draft          PCEP Extensions for SRv6            January 2022

5.3.  RRO Processing

   The syntax checking rules that apply to the SRv6-RRO subobject are
   identical to those of the SRv6-ERO subobject, except as noted below.

   If a PCEP speaker receives an SRv6-RRO subobject in which both SRv6
   SID and NAI are absent, it MUST consider the entire RRO invalid and
   send a PCErr message with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception of an invalid
   object") and Error-Value = TBD6 ("Both SID and NAI are absent in
   SRv6-RRO subobject").

   If a PCE detects that the subobjects of an RRO are a mixture of
   SRv6-RRO subobjects and subobjects of other types, then it MUST send
   a PCErr message with Error-Type = 10 ("Reception of an invalid
   object") and Error-Value = TBD7 ("RRO mixes SRv6-RRO subobjects with
   other subobject types").

6.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations described in [RFC5440], [RFC8231] and
   [RFC8281], [RFC8664], are applicable to this specification.  No
   additional security measure is required.

7.  Manageability Considerations

   All manageability requirements and considerations listed in
   [RFC5440], [RFC8231], and [RFC8664] apply to PCEP protocol extensions
   defined in this document.  In addition, requirements and
   considerations listed in this section apply.

7.1.  Control of Function and Policy

   A PCEP implementation SHOULD allow the operator to configure the
   policy based on which it allocates the SIDs.

7.2.  Information and Data Models

   The PCEP YANG module is defined in [I-D.ietf-pce-pcep-yang].  An
   implementation SHOULD allow the operator to view the SIDs allocated
   to the LSP for the SR path.

7.3.  Liveness Detection and Monitoring

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness
   detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already

7.4.  Verify Correct Operations

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new operation
   verification requirements in addition to those already listed in
   [RFC5440], [RFC8231], and [RFC8664] .

7.5.  Requirements On Other Protocols

   Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new requirements
   on other protocols.

7.6.  Impact On Network Operations

   Mechanisms defined in [RFC5440], [RFC8231], and [RFC8664] also apply
   to PCEP extensions defined in this document.

8.  Implementation Status

   [Note to the RFC Editor - remove this section before publication, as
   well as remove the reference to [RFC7942].

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
   here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort
   has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
   supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not
   be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
   It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".

9.  IANA Considerations

9.1.  PCEP ERO and RRO subobjects

   This document defines a new subobject type for the PCEP explicit
   route object (ERO), and a new subobject type for the PCEP record
   route object (RRO).  The code points for subobject types of these
   objects is maintained in the RSVP parameters registry, under the
   EXPLICIT_ROUTE and ROUTE_RECORD objects.  IANA is requested to
   allocate code-points in the RSVP Parameters registry for each of the
   new subobject types defined in this document.

     Object                Subobject                  Subobject Type
     --------------------- -------------------------- ------------------
     EXPLICIT_ROUTE        SRv6-ERO (PCEP-specific)     TBD3
     ROUTE_RECORD          SRv6-RRO (PCEP-specific)     TBD4

9.2.  New SRv6-ERO Flag Registry

   IANA is requested to create a new sub-registry, named "SRv6-ERO Flag
   Field", within the "Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) Numbers"
   registry to manage the Flag field of the SRv6-ERO subobject.  New
   values are to be assigned by Standards Action [RFC8126].  Each bit
   should be tracked with the following qualities:

   *  Bit number (counting from bit 0 as the most significant bit)

   *  Capability description

   *  Defining RFC

   The following values are defined in this document:

                     11      SID is absent (S)     This document

9.3.  PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY Sub-TLV Type Indicators

   IANA maintains a sub-registry, named "PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY Sub-
   TLV Type Indicators", within the "Path Computation Element Protocol
   (PCEP) Numbers" registry to manage the type indicator space for sub-
   TLVs of the PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV.  IANA is requested to
   make the following assignment:

      Value     Meaning                     Reference
      -----     -------                     ---------
      TBD1      SRv6-PCE-CAPABILITY         This Document

9.4.  SRv6 PCE Capability Flags

   IANA is requested to create a new sub-registry, named "SRv6
   Capability Flag Field", within the "Path Computation Element Protocol
   (PCEP) Numbers" registry to manage the Flag field of the SRv6-PCE-
   CAPABILITY sub-TLV.  New values are to be assigned by Standards
   Action [RFC8126].  Each bit should be tracked with the following
   qualities:

   *  Bit number (counting from bit 0 as the most significant bit)

   *  Capability description

9.5.  New Path Setup Type

   [RFC8408] created a sub-registry within the "Path Computation Element
   Protocol (PCEP) Numbers" registry called "PCEP Path Setup Types".
   IANA is requested to allocate a new code point within this registry,
   as follows:

   Value             Description                  Reference
   -----             -----------                  ---------

                     setup using SRv6.

9.6.  ERROR Objects

   IANA is requested to allocate code-points in the PCEP-ERROR Object
   Error Types and Values registry for the following new error-values:

      Error-Type   Meaning
      ----------   -------
      10           Reception of an invalid object
                   Error-value = TBD5 (Missing
                   PCE-SRv6-CAPABILITY sub-TLV)
                   Error-value = TBD6 (Both SID and NAI are absent
                   in SRv6-RRO subobject)
                   Error-value = TBD7 (RRO mixes SRv6-RRO subobjects
                   with other subobject types)
                   Error-value = TBD8 (Invalid SRv6 SID Structure)
      19           Invalid Operation
                   Error-value = TBD9 (Attempted SRv6 when the
