QuestionQ8

SR-TE with a path computation element

Which of the following information types does a stateless PCE consider when processing a request to calculate a new LSP path?

  • A The IGP link-state database
  • B The traffic-engineering database
  • C The operational state of existing LSP paths
  • D The amount of bandwidth reserved for each of the existing LSP paths
Explanation

A stateless PCE performs path computation using the Traffic Engineering Database (TED), which contains network topology and traffic-engineering resource information. Visibility into individual existing LSP operational state and their reserved resources requires the LSP state information maintained by a stateful PCE.
