BGP-PCEP¶
Overview¶
BGP Plugin¶
The OpenDaylight controller provides an implementation of BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), which is based on RFC 4271) as a south-bound protocol plugin. The implementation renders all basic BGP speaker capabilities, including:
Inter/Intra-AS peering * Routes advertising * Routes originating * Routes storage
The plugin’s north-bound API (REST/Java) provides to user:
Fully dynamic run-time standardized BGP configuration
Read-only access to all RIBs
Read-write programmable RIBs
Read-only reachability/link-state topology view
PCEP Plugin¶
The OpenDaylight Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) plugin provides all basic service units necessary to build-up a PCE-based controller. Defined by RFC 8231, PCEP offers LSP management functionality for Active Stateful PCE, which is the cornerstone for majority of PCE-enabled SDN solutions. It consists of the following components:
Protocol library
PCEP session handling
Stateful PCE LSP-DB
Active Stateful PCE LSP Operations
Behavior/Feature Changes¶
pcep-topology-provider now allows PCEP capabilities, TLS configuration as well as PCEP
timer proposals to be configured on a per-topology basis rather than being global settings.
Rarely-used configuration knobs for PCEP auto-bandwidth and segment-routing extensions
have been migrated from the datastore to OSGi Configuration Admin properties.
