PCE for Mirror Binding
draft-chen-pce-mbinding-02
Abstract
PCE is used to distribute a binding to a node. The binding includes
a binding SID and a path represented by a list of SIDs. This
document describes extensions to PCEP for distributing the
information about the binding to a protecting node. For an SR path
via the node with the binding SID, when the node fails, the
protecting node such as the upstream neighbor on the path uses the
information to protect the binding SID of the failed node.

1. Introduction
[I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] specifies how PCE may be used to
distribute a Segment Routing (SR) Policy to a node in a network. An
SR Policy may contain a binding, which includes a binding SID and a
path associated with the binding SID. The path is represented by a
list of SIDs.
After a PCE as a controller distributes the binding to the node, the
node forwards the packet with the binding SID according to the first
SID in the list. It replaces the binding SID in the packet with the
list of SIDs and forwards the packet using the FIB entry for the top
SID (i.e., the first SID) in the packet.
When the node fails, suppose that the upstream neighbor (as PLR) of
the node has the corresponding binding protection information for
protecting the binding SID of the node. The information includes the
binding SID, the list of SIDs and an identifier of the node. After
the upstream neighbor as PLR detects the failure of the node, for a

packet with the node SID of the failed node received, it protects the
binding SID of the failed node. It pops the node SID, replaces the
binding SID in the packet with the list of SIDs, forwards the packet
without going through the failed node towards the top SID (i.e., the
first SID, assuming it is a node SID for simplicity here). How a
upstream node protect the binding SID of the failed node is out of
scope of this document and described in
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-protection-sr-te-paths] and
[I-D.hu-spring-segment-routing-proxy-forwarding] (Note: the second
reference will be removed after the first one includes enough text
for protecting binding SIDs of a node).
This document proposes some procedures and extensions to PCEP for
distributing the binding protection information to the possible
protecting nodes, which are the nodes that may protect the failed
node.
2. Extensions to PCEP
A PCC may run on each node in a network. A PCE runs on a server as a
controller to communicate with PCCs. The PCE and the PCCs work
together to distribute the binding protection information about a
binding SID on a node to the possible protecting nodes for protecting
the binding SID of the node when the node fails.
2.1. Binding Protection Information Distribution Capability
When a PCE and a PCC running on a network node establish a PCEP
session between them, they exchange their capabilities of Binding
Protection Information Distribution in Open messages. An Open
message includes an Open object. The object contains a
PATH_SETUP_TYPE_CAPABILITY TLV with Path Setup Type (PST) = TBD1 and
a new sub-TLV, called Binding Protection Information Distribution
Capability (BSID-D for short) sub-TLV.
PST = TBD1 indicates Binding Protection Information Distribution.
BSID-D sub-TLV contains parameters used for Binding Protection
Information distribution.
The format of BSID-D sub-TLV is shown in Figure 1.

Type: TBD2 is to be assigned by IANA.
Length: 4.
Reserved: 2 octets. Must be set to zero in transmission and ignored
on reception.
Flags: 2 octets. No flag bits are defined.
A PCC, which supports the capability of Binding Protection
Information Distribution, sends a PCE an Open message containing a
PATH_SETUP_TYPE_CAPABILITY TLV with Path Setup Type (PST) = TBD1 and
a BSID_PROTECTION_DISTRIBUTION_CAPABILITY sub-TLV. PST = TBD1
indicates that the PCC is capable of receiving and processing the
binding protection information about a binding SID on a node from the
PCE for protecting the binding SID of the node when the node fails.
A PCE, which supports the capability of Binding Protection
Information Distribution, sends a PCC an Open message containing a
PATH_SETUP_TYPE_CAPABILITY TLV with Path Setup Type (PST) = TBD1 and
a BSID_PROTECTION_DISTRIBUTION_CAPABILITY sub-TLV. PST = TBD1
indicates that the PCE supports the capability of Binding Protection
Information Distribution.
If both a PCC and a PCE support the capability of Binding Protection
Information Distribution, each of the Open messages sent by the PCC
and PCE contains a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-CAPABILITY TLV with a PST list
containing PST = TBD1 and a BSID_PROTECTION_DISTRIBUTION_CAPABILITY
sub-TLV.
If a PCE receives an Open message without a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-
CAPABILITY TLV containing PST = TBD1 from a PCC, then the PCE MUST
not send the PCC any binding protection information.
If a PCC receives an Open message without a PATH-SETUP-TYPE-
CAPABILITY TLV containing PST = TBD1 from a PCE, then the PCC MUST
ignore any binding protection information from the PCE.

Internet-Draft Mirror Binding October 2023
When PCECC is used, a PCC and PCE exchange capability of binding
protection information distribution using PCECC-CAPABILITY Sub-TLV
which is included in the PATH_SETUP_TYPE_CAPABILITY TLV in an Open
message.
A new flag bit B is defined in the Flags field of the PCECC-
CAPABILITY sub-TLV as shown in Figure 2. B flag (for Binding SID
Protection): if set to 1 by a PCEP speaker (PCE or PCC), the B flag
indicates that the PCEP speaker supports and is willing to handle the
PCECC based central controller instructions for Binding SID
protection. The bit MUST be set to 1 by both a PCC and a PCE for the
PCECC Binding SID protection instruction download/report on a PCEP
session.

2.2. Extensions to RP/SRP Object
After sending the binding to a node (i.e., the PCC running on the
node), a PCE sends the corresponding binding protection information
to the possible protecting nodes of the node in a PCEP message such
as a Path Computation LSP Update Request (PCUpd) message. The
message contains a Request Parameters (RP) object or Stateful PCE
Request Parameters (SRP) object. The object includes:
* A PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV with PST = TBD1 indicating binding
protection information for a Binding SID of a node.
* A Node ID TLV containing the identifier of the node.
The format of PATH-SETUP-TYPE TLV is shown in Figure 3.

Type: Its value (TBDa) is to be assigned by IANA.
Length: Its value indicates the length of the value field of the TLV
is 4.
Node ID: 4-octet field contains the 4-octet TE router identifier
(ID) of the (protected) node.
3. Procedure for Updating Information
When a PCE sends a binding to node N (i.e., PCC running on N) in a
first Path Computation LSP Update Request (PCUpd) message, the PCE
sends the corresponding binding protection information to the
possible protecting nodes such as neighbors of node N in a second
PCUpd message.
The first message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object does not include any PATH-
SETUP-TYPE TLV with PST = TBD1. The TLV includes a binding SID and R
bit set to zero.
The second message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object includes a PATH-SETUP-TYPE
TLV with PST = TBD1 and a Node ID TLV indicating node N. TE-PATH-
BINDING TLV includes the binding SID and R bit set to zero.

Internet-Draft Mirror Binding October 2023
After a PCE sends the binding to node N, if the PCE removes the
binding from node N through sending a third PCUpd message to node N,
the PCE removes the corresponding binding protection information from
the nodes through sending a fourth PCUpd message to the nodes.
The third message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object does not include any PATH-
SETUP-TYPE TLV with PST = TBD1. The TLV includes a binding SID and R
bit set to one (1).
The fourth message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object includes a PATH-SETUP-TYPE
TLV with PST = TBD1 and a Node ID TLV indicating node N. TE-PATH-
BINDING TLV includes the binding SID and R bit set to one (1).
After a PCE sends the binding to node N, if the PCE changes the
binding in node N through sending a fifth PCUpd message to node N,
the PCE changes the corresponding binding protection information in
the nodes through sending a sixth PCUpd message to the them.
The fifth message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object does not include any PATH-
SETUP-TYPE TLV with PST = TBD1. The LSP object includes a (changed)
path. The TLV includes a binding SID and R bit set to zero.
The sixth message contains an RP/SRP object and an LSP object with a
TE-PATH-BINDING TLV. The RP/SRP object includes a PATH-SETUP-TYPE
TLV with PST = TBD1 and a Node ID TLV indicating node N. The LSP
object includes the (changed) path. TE-PATH-BINDING TLV includes the
binding SID and R bit set to zero.
