Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using a PCE for the computation of TE-constrained LSP paths, as compared to using CSPF locally on the PE router?
A.
The ability to create cross-area TE-constrained LSP paths
B.
The ability to create LSP paths with bandwidth reservation
C.
The ability to create LSPs with primary and secondary paths
D.
The ability to ensure that some LSP paths are disjoint
PCE does not have the capability to reserve bandwidth, This is a function of a Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) or a Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) and is done locally on the PE.
PCE can have advantages such as:
The ability to create cross-area TE-constrained LSP paths
The ability to create LSPs with primary and secondary paths
The ability to ensure that some LSP paths are disjoint
it can be used to optimize the path computation by centralizing the path calculation and by taking into account a global view of the network.
