PCEP error RP object missing

0

Note: this editor is messing up the text alignment of the wireshark capture

Cisco IOS XR router send a PCEP request to ODL PCE for path computation and gets a PCEP Error message type 6 value 1: Mandatory object missing, RP Object missing.

Wireshark shows that the PCEP client (the router) sends the PCE request message with the RP object hence the error seems contradictory. Although we do notice that the RP object is setting the OF flag (Objetive Flag) which is not defined in RFC 5440, and was only introduced in RFC 5541 so could be that ODL rejects this PCEP request due to unsopported flag.

However, when using a Cisco PCE controller (XTC), it works fine.

Any idea what could be causing the ODL controller to reject this PCE Request message and if the issue if the OF flag, how to configure the ODL server to support it.... Below is the wirekshare capture of this PCE request and reply message: PCE request message from PCC (Cisco Router) to PCE (ODL Beryllium)

1st packet is from PCC (Cisco Router) to ODL PCE, this is the PCE Request
