Abstract:
   The Path Computation Element (PCE) is a core component of Software-
   Defined Networking (SDN) systems.

   A PCE-based Central Controller (PCECC) can simplify the processing of
   a distributed control plane by blending it with elements of SDN and
   without necessarily completely replacing it.  This document specifies
   the procedures and PCEP extensions when a PCE-based controller is
   also responsible for configuring the forwarding actions on the
   routers, in addition to computing the paths for packet flows in the
   for Segment Routing (SR) in IPv6 (SRv6) network and telling the edge
   routers what instructions to attach to packets as they enter the
   network.  PCECC is further enhanced for SRv6 SID (Segment Identifier)
   allocation and distribution.
