2. Introduction Multiple Tunnel Central Controllers (TCC) Each controller controls one domain –Manage/Allocate resources including Label resource –Set up segment of TE LSP tunnel in the domain Path for TE LSP crossing domains is computed by PCEs Page 2 TCC2 TCC3 TCC1 A U T Q R L M N K J I H G E F C B S P D D1 D2 D3 PCE1 PCE2 PCE3 PCE1/PCE2/PCE3 is responsible for domain D1/D2/D3 respectively TCC1/TCC2/TCC3 controls D1/D2/D3 respectively

3. Problem to be solved To create an E2E TE LSP crossing domains by controllers Each upstream controller needs a Label from downstream domain Label for entry border node (e.g., node E) along LSP in downstream domain (e.g., domain D2) needs to be sent to upstream controller (e.g., controller TTC1) Distribution of Label can be done by PCE Page 3 TCC2 TCC3 TCC1 A U T Q R L M N K J I H G E F C B S P D D1 D2 D3 PCE1 PCE2 PCE3 Label PCE1/PCE2/PCE3 is responsible for domain D1/D2/D3 respectively TCC1/TCC2/TCC3 controls D1/D2/D3 TCC1 for D1 needs Label from E in D2 to set up A  B  C  E TCC2 for D2 needs Label from R in D3 to set up E  F  H  J  R PCE sends Label from D2 to D1 PCE sends Label from D3 to D2

5. Extensions to PCEP 2 Bits in RP Object 1)L (Label distribution): 1: PCReq or PCRep message for distributing label crossing domains. 2)C (LSP Creation): 1: PCReq or PCRep message for creating segment of LSP before distributing label Label Object Containing a Label and a node from which Label is allocated LSP Tunnel Object Containing information identifying an LSP tunnel in multiple controller environment Page 5 Label Node IP Address (optional) Egress IP Address / P2MP ID Extended Tunnel ID Controller ID LSP ID Tunnel IDReserved
