Disclosed are a path computation method and a path computation element, applied to a system including two or more path computation elements (PCEs), and in the system, one of the PCEs is a primary PCE, and the other PCEs are secondary PCEs; the method includes: the primary PCE, after receiving a path computation request sent by a path computation client (PCC), selecting one PCE in the system to be the PCE processing this path computation request, and the selected PCE processing the path computation request. When a PCE works as the primary PCE, the PCE includes: a receiving module, configured to receive a path computation request sent by a PCC; a selecting module, configured to select one PCE in the system to be the PCE processing this path computation request after the receiving module receives the path computation request.. |
