Chang Barefoot Networks October 30, 2016 Encapsulations for In-situ OAM Data draft-brockners-inband-oam-transport-02 Abstract In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) records operational and telemetry information in the packet while the packet traverses a path between two points in the network. In-situ OAM is to complement current out-of-band OAM mechanisms based on ICMP or other types of probe packets. This document outlines how in-situ OAM data records can be transported in protocols such as NSH, Segment Routing, VXLAN-GPE, native IPv6 (via extension headers), and IPv4. Transport options are currently investigated as part of an implementation study. This document is intended to only serve informational purposes.

Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 2] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 1. Introduction This document discusses transport mechanisms for "in-situ" Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) data records. In- situ OAM records OAM information within the packet while the packet traverses a particular network domain. The term "in-situ" refers to the fact that the OAM data is added to the data packets rather than is being sent within packets specifically dedicated to OAM. A discussion of the motivation and requirements for in-situ OAM can be found in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-requirements]. Data types and data formats for in-situ OAM are defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data]. This document outlines transport encapsulations for the in-situ OAM data defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data]. This document is to serve informational purposes only. As part of an in-situ OAM implementation study different protocol encapsulations for in-situ OAM data are being explored. Once data formats and encapsulation approaches are settled, protocol specific specifications for in-situ OAM data transport will address the standardization aspect. The data for in-situ OAM defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data] can be carried in a variety of protocols based on the deployment needs. This document discusses transport of in-situ OAM data for the following protocols: o IPv6 o IPv4 o VXLAN-GPE o NSH o Segment Routing (IPv6 and MPLS) This list is non-exhaustive, as it is possible to carry the in-situ OAM data in several other protocols and transports. A feasibility study of in-situ OAM is currently underway as part of the FD.io project [FD.io]. The in-situ OAM implementation study should be considered as a "tool box" to showcase how "in-situ" OAM can complement probe-packet based OAM mechanisms for different deployments and packet transport formats. For details, see the open source code in the FD.io [FD.io]. Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 2. Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. Abbreviations used in this document: MTU: Maximum Transmit Unit NSH: Network Service Header OAM: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance POT: Proof of Transit SFC: Service Function Chain SID: Segment Identifier SR: Segment Routing VXLAN-GPE: Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network, Generic Protocol Extension 3. In-Situ OAM Metadata Transport in IPv6 This mechanisms of in-situ OAM in IPv6 complement others proposed to enhance diagnostics of IPv6 networks, such as the IPv6 Performance and Diagnostic Metrics Destination Option described in [I-D.ietf-ippm-6man-pdm-option]. The IP Performance and Diagnostic Metrics Destination Option is destination focused and specific to IPv6, whereas in-situ OAM is performed between end-points of the network or a network domain where it is enabled and used. A historical note: The idea of IPv6 route recording was originally introduced by [I-D.kitamura-ipv6-record-route] back in year 2000. With IPv6 now being generally deployed and new concepts such as Segment Routing [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] being introduced, it is imperative to further mature the Operations, Administration, and Maintenance mechanisms available to IPv6 networks. The in-situ OAM options translate into options for an IPv6 extension header. The extension header would be inserted by either a host source of the packet, or by a transit/domain-edge node. If the addition of the in-situ OAM Hop-by-Hop Option header would lead to the packet exceeding the MTU of the domain an error should be reported. The methods and procedures of how the error is reported Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 are outside the scope of this document. Likewise if an ICMPv6 forwarding error occurs between encapsulating and decapsulating nodes, the node generating the ICMPv6 error should strip the in-situ OAM Hop-by-Hop Option header before sending the ICMPv6 message to the source. 3.1. In-situ OAM in IPv6 Hop by Hop Extension Header This section defines in-situ OAM for IPv6 transport. In-situ OAM data is transported as an IPv6 hop-by-hop extension header. 3.1.1. In-situ OAM Hop by Hop Options Brief recap of the IPv6 hop-by-hop header as well as the options used for carrying in-situ OAM data: Brockners, et al.

Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 6] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 2. Proof of Transit Option: The in-situ OAM POT option defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data] is represented as a IPv6 option in hop by hop extension header by allocating following type: Option Type: 001xxxxxx 8-bit identifier of the type of option. xxxxxx=TBD_IANA_POT_OPTION_IPV6. 3. Edge to Edge Option: The in-situ OAM E2E option defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data] is represented as a IPv6 option in hop by hop extension header by allocating following type: Option Type: 000xxxxxx 8-bit identifier of the type of option. xxxxxx=TBD_IANA_E2E_OPTION_IPV6. 3.1.2. Procedure at the Ingress Edge to Insert the In-situ OAM Header In an administrative domain where in-situ OAM is used, insertion of the in-situ OAM header is enabled at the required edge nodes (i.e. at the encapsulating/decapsulating nodes) by means of configuration. Such a configuration SHOULD allow selective enablement of in-situ OAM header insertion for a subset of traffic (e.g., one or several "pipes"). Further the ingress edge node should be aware of maximum size of the header that can be inserted. Details on how the maximum size/size of the in-situ OAM domain are retrieved are outside the scope of this document. Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 7] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 Let n = max number of nodes updating in-situ OAM data; (calculated based on the packet size and the minimal MTU on all links within the OAM domain) Let k = number of node data records that can be allocated by this node. Let node_data_size = size of each node_data based on in-situ OAM type. if (packet matches traffic for which in-situ OAM is enabled) { Create in-situ OAM hbyh ext-header with k node data records preallocated. Increment payload length in IPv6 header: with size of in-situ OAM hbyh ext-header Populate node data at: (size of in-situ OAM hbyh ext-header = 8) + k * node_data_size from the beginning of the header Set Elements-left to: k - 1 Update "Next Header" field in main IPv6 header and set "Next Header" field of OAM hbyh extension header appropriately. } 3.1.3. Procedure at Transit Nodes If a network node receives a packet with an in-situ OAM header and it is enabled to process in-situ OAM data it performs the following: k = number of node data that this node can allocate if (in-situ OAM ext hbyh ext-header is present) { if (Elements-left > 0)) { populate node data at : node_data_start[Elements-left] Elements-left = Elements-left - 1 } } 3.1.4. Procedure at the Egress Edge to Remove the In-situ OAM Header Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 8] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 egress_edge = list of interfaces where in-situ OAM hbyh ext header is to be stripped Before forwarding packet out of interfaces in egress_edge list: if (in-situ OAM hbyh ext-header is present) { remove the in-situ OAM hbyh ext-header, possibly store the record along with additional fields for analysis and export Decrement Payload Length in IPv6 header by size of in-situ OAM ext header Update "Next Header" field in main IPv6 header and set "Next Header" field of OAM hbyh extension header appropriately. } 4. In-situ OAM Metadata Transport in IPv4 Transport of in-situ OAM data in IPv4 will be detailed in a future version of this document. 5. In-situ OAM Metadata Transport in VXLAN-GPE VXLAN-GPE [I-D.ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe] encapsulation is somewhat similar to IPv6 extension headers in that a series of headers can be contained in the header as a linked list. The different in-situ OAM types are added as options within a new in-situ OAM protocol header in VXLAN GPE. In an administrative domain where in-situ OAM is used, insertion of the in-situ OAM protocol header in VXLAN GPE is enabled at the VXLAN GPE tunnel endpoint which also serve as in-situ OAM encapsulating/decapsulating nodes by means of configuration.

Length of the in-situ OAM HDR in 8-octet units in-situ OAM options: Variable-length field, of length such that the complete in-situ OAM header is an integer multiple of 8 octets long. Contains one or more TLV-encoded options of the format: Brockners, et al.

The in-situ OAM options defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data] are encoded with an option type allocated in the new in-situ OAM IANA registry - in-situ OAM_PROTOCOL_OPTION_REGISTRY_IANA_TBD. In addition the following padding options are defined to be used when necessary to align subsequent options and to pad out the containing header to a multiple of 8 octets in length. Pad1 option (alignment requirement: none) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 0 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ NOTE: The format of the Pad1 option is a special case -- it does not have length and value fields. The Pad1 option is used to insert one octet of padding into the Options area of a header. If more than one octet of padding is required, the PadN option, described next, should be used, rather than multiple Pad1 options. PadN option (alignment requirement: none) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- - - - - - - - - | 1 | Opt Data Len | Option Data +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- - - - - - - - - The PadN option is used to insert two or more octets of padding into the Options area of a header. For N octets of padding, the Opt Data Len field contains the value N-2, and the Option Data consists of N-2 zero-valued octets. 6. In-situ OAM Metadata Transport in NSH In Service Function Chaining (SFC) [RFC7665], the Network Service Header (NSH) [I-D.ietf-sfc-nsh] already includes path tracing capabilities [I-D.penno-sfc-trace], but currently does not offer a solution to securely prove that packets really traversed the service Brockners, et al. Expires May 3, 2017 [Page 11] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport October 2016 chain. The "Proof of Transit" capabilities (see [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-requirements] and [I-D.brockners-proof-of-transit]) of in-situ OAM can be leveraged within NSH. In an administrative domain where in-situ OAM is used, insertion of the in-situ OAM data into the NSH header is enabled at the required nodes (i.e. at the in-situ OAM encapsulating/ decapsulating nodes) by means of configuration. Proof of transit in-situ OAM data is added as NSH Type 2 metadata: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | TLV Class=Cisco (0x0009) |C| Type=POT |R| Len=4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ | Random | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ P | Random(contd.) | O +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ T | Cumulative | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | Cumulative (contd.) | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ TLV Class: Describes the scope of the "Type" field.

In-situ OAM in SR with IPv6 Transport Similar to NSH, a service chain or path defined using Segment Routing for IPv6 can be verified using the in-situ OAM "Proof of Transit" approach. The Segment Routing Header (SRH) for IPv6 offers the ability to transport TLV structured data, similar to what NSH does (see [I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]). In an domain where in- situ OAM is used, insertion of the in-situ OAM data is enabled at the required edge nodes (i.e. at the in-situ OAM encapsulating/ decapsulating nodes) by means of configuration.
