    <abstract>
      <t>The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
      mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
      computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs)
      requests.</t>

      <t>Link bandwidth utilization considering the total bandwidth of a link
      in current use for the forwarding is an important factor to consider
      during path computation. This document describes extensions to PCEP to
      consider them as new constraints during path computation.</t>

    <section title="Introduction" toc="default">
      <t>Real time link bandwidth utilization is becoming critical in the path
      computation in some networks. It is important that link bandwidth
      utilization is factored in during path computation. PCC can request a
      PCE to provide a path such that it selects under-utilized links. This
      document extends PCEP <xref target="RFC5440"></xref> for this
      purpose.</t>

      <t>Traffic Engineering Database (TED) as populated by Interior Gateway
      Protocol (IGP) contains Maximum bandwidth, Maximum reservable bandwidth
      and Unreserved bandwidth (<xref target="RFC3630"></xref> and <xref
      target="RFC3784"></xref>). <xref target="OSPF-TE-EXPRESS"></xref> and
      <xref target="ISIS-TE-EXPRESS"></xref> further populate Residual
      bandwidth, Available bandwidth and Utilized bandwidth.</t>

      <t>The links in the path MAY be monitored for changes in the link
      bandwidth utilization, re-optimization of such path MAY be further
      requested.</t>

             toc="default">
      <t>The bandwidth utilization on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled
      link is populated in the TED (Utilized Bandwidth in 
      <xref target="OSPF-TE-EXPRESS"></xref> and <xref
      target="ISIS-TE-EXPRESS"></xref>). For a link or forwarding adjacency,
      bandwidth utilization represent the actual utilization of the link
      (i.e.: as measured in the router). For a bundled link, bandwidth
      utilization is defined to be the sum of the component link bandwidth
      utilization. This includes traffic for both RSVP and non-RSVP.</t>

      <t>LBU Percentage is described as the (LBU / Maximum bandwidth) *
      100.</t>

      <t>The reserved bandwidth utilization on a link, forwarding adjacency,
      or bundled link can be calculated from the TED. This includes traffic
      for only RSVP-TE LSPs.</t>

      <t>LRBU can be calculated by using the Residual bandwidth, Available
      bandwidth and LBU. The actual bandwidth by non-RSVP TE traffic can be
      calculated by subtracting Available Bandwidth from Residual Bandwidth.
      Once we have the actual bandwidth for non-RSVP TE traffic, subtracting
      this from LBU would result in LRBU.</t>

      <t>LRBU Percentage is described as the (LRBU / (current reserved
      bandwidth)) * 100; where the current reserved bandwidth can be
      calculated by subtracting Residual bandwidth from Maximum bandwidth.</t>

      <t>Following requirements associated with bandwidth utilization are

      <t><list style="numbers">
          <t>PCE supporting this draft MUST have the capability to compute
          end-to-end path with bandwidth utilization constraints. It MUST also
          support the combination of bandwidth utilization constraint with
          existing constraints (cost, hop-limit...).</t>

          <t>PCC MUST be able to request for bandwidth utilization constraint
          in PCReq message as the boundary condition that should not be
          crossed for each link in the path.</t>

          <t>PCC MUST be able to request for bandwidth utilization constraint
          in PCReq message as an Objective function (OF) <xref
          target="RFC5541"></xref> to be optimized.</t>

          <t>PCEs are not required to support bandwidth utilization
          constraint. Therefore, it MUST be possible for a PCE to reject a
          PCReq message with a reason code that indicates no support for
          bandwidth utilization constraint.</t>

          <t>PCEP SHOULD provide mechanism to handle bandwidth utilization

      <section title="Stateful PCE" toc="default">
      <t><xref target="STATEFUL-PCE"></xref> specifies a set of 
      extensions to PCEP to enable
   stateful control of MPLS-TE and GMPLS LSPs via PCEP and maintaining
   of these LSPs at the stateful PCE. It further distinguishes between 
   an active and a passive stateful PCE.  A passive stateful PCE uses LSP state
   information learned from PCCs to optimize path computations but does
   not actively update LSP state.  In contrast, an active stateful PCE
   utilizes the delegation mechanism to let PCCs relinquish control 
   over some LSPs to the PCE. </t>
   <t>The passive stateful PCE implementation MAY use the extension of
   PCReq and PCRep messages as defined in <xref target="SEC_REQ"/> and 
   <xref target="SEC_REP"/> to enable the use of BU object.</t>
   <t>The additional objective functions defined in this document can also
   be used with stateful PCE.</t>
   <section title="PCEP Message Extension" toc="default">
   <section title="The PCRpt message" toc="default">
   <t>A Path Computation LSP State
   Report message (also referred to as PCRpt message) is a PCEP message
   sent by a PCC to a PCE to report the current state or delegate control 
   of an LSP. The PCRpt message is extended to support BU object 
   (to optionally specify the boundary condition that should not be crossed).</t>
   <t>As per <xref target="STATEFUL-PCE"></xref>, the format of the PCRpt 
   message is as follows:</t>
   <figure align="left" alt="" height="" suppress-title="false" title=""
                width="">
          <artwork align="left" alt="" height="" name="" type="" width=""
                   xml:space="preserve">
   <PCRpt Message> ::= <Common Header>
                       <state-report-list>

   where:

        <state-report-list> ::= <state-report> [<state-report-list>]

        <state-repor> ::= [<SRP>]
                       <LSP>
                       <path>

        <path> ::= <ERO><attribute-list>[<RRO>]
	</artwork>
        </figure>
   <t>Where <attribute-list> is extended as per <xref target="SEC_REP"/>.</t>
   <t>Thus the BU object can be used to specify the boundary condition set at the PCC at the
   time of delegation to active stateful PCE.</t>
