MARBEN PCE

The PCE Development Kit offers a user-friendly flexible API on top of a complete protocol stack to ease and speed up the integration of PCEP feature inside a network element either as a PCC or as a PCE.
It is fully conformant with IETF PCEP standard and and also supports extensions such Exclude Route, Objective Function, PathKey protection and Global Concurrent Optimisation.

Marben is closely and actively following IETF PCE working group to maintain its implementation up to date with latest extensions required by its customers.

MARBEN PCE consists of two different modules:

• PCE entity
  • mainly in charge of the PCEP session maintenance, PCEP message coding/decoding and trace facilities,
• PCE development Kit;
  • API offering the possibility to the user-application to build/send/Receive PCEP messages (i.e. Path Computation Request/Reply, Error, Notification…).

These two PCE modules could be augmented with MARBEN routing offer running ISIS-TE or OSPF-TE as addition. Marben products also provides constrained path computation algorithm that could be customized and used to build a PCE offer.
