The following list describes in more detail the actions that the PCC takes on PCE-initiated LSPs as a result of PCC operational events:
Redelegation and state timers are started when the PCEP session goes down or the PCE signals overload. Configuration of these timers is described in Configuring PCE-initiated LSPs. The system enforces that the state timer be greater than the redelegation timer, as specified in RFC 8231.
The objectives of redelegation are described in Section 5.7.5 of RFC 8231. The existing LSP delegation state is maintained while the LSP redelegation timer is running. This gives the PCE time to recover. At the expiry of the redelegation timer, the PCC attempts to redelegate the LSPs to the PCE. The PCC performs the following redelegation process for both PCE-initiated and PCC-initiated LSPs:
If the PCEP session to the existing PCE is still down or the PCE is still in overload, return delegation state to the PCC for all the delegated LSPs
Wait until the PCEP session comes up, then attempt to redelegate the remaining LSPs back to the PCE. For each LSP, set a redelegation attempted flag after redelegation is attempted. If redelegation is accepted for all PCE-initiated LSPs delegated to the PCC before the state timer expires, the system is behaving as expected.
If the state timer expires, wait until all LSPs have been processed. The PCC performs a configurable action for LSPs that are not redelegated but have the redelegation attempted flag set. If this is delete, LSPs are deleted; otherwise, wait until the PCEP session comes up and then attempt to redelegate the remaining LSPs back to the PCE.
