Subject: [Pce] Last Call: <draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-ipv6-21.txt> (Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for Segment Routing leveraging the IPv6 dataplane) to Proposed Standard

The IESG has received a request from the Path Computation Element WG (pce) to
consider the following document: - 'Path Computation Element Communication
Protocol (PCEP) Extensions for
   Segment Routing leveraging the IPv6 dataplane'
  <draft-ietf-pce-segment-routing-ipv6-21.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-02-15. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   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).

   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 planes, a
   PCE should be able to compute an SR Path for both MPLS and IPv6
   forwarding planes.  The PCEP extension and mechanisms to support SR-
   MPLS have been defined.  This document describes the extensions
   required for SR support for the IPv6 data plane in the Path
   Computation Element communication Protocol (PCEP).
