      <abstract>
	 <t>   Network Slices realized over Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6)
   networks use slice-specific forwarding resources that are selected by
   a slice indicator carried in the IPv6 packet.  For two-way active
   measurement results to reflect the conditions experienced by traffic
   within a given network slice, the probe packets generated by the Two-
   Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) and the Simple Two-Way Active
   Measurement Protocol (STAMP) need to be forwarded over the same
   slice-specific resources as the data traffic they are intended to
   characterize.

   This document specifies how a slice indicator is carried in TWAMP and
   STAMP probe packets so that those packets are forwarded through the
   resources of a target slice, and it defines the corresponding
   Session-Sender and Session-Reflector behavior.  The procedures are
   independent of the specific encoding used to carry the slice
   indicator in the SRv6 data plane.
