Chang Barefoot Networks March 12, 2017 Encapsulations for In-situ OAM Data draft-brockners-inband-oam-transport-03 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 fields 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 September 13, 2017 [Page 2] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport March 2017 1. Introduction This document discusses transport mechanisms for "in-situ" Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) data fields. 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 September 13, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport March 2017 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: IOAM: In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance 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 hop by hop 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 Brockners, et al. Expires September 13, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport March 2017 the packet exceeding the MTU of the domain an error should be reported. The methods and procedures of how the error is reported 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 Options are transported in IPv6 hop-by-hop extension header. 3.1.1.

Brockners, et al. Expires September 13, 2017 [Page 5] Internet-Draft In-situ OAM Data Transport March 2017 In-situ OAM Options are inserted as Option data as follows: 1. Pre-allocated Tracing Option: The in-situ OAM Preallocated Tracing 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_PRE_TRACE_OPTION_IPV6. 2. Incremental Tracing Option: The in-situ OAM Incremental Tracing 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_INCR_TRACE_OPTION_IPV6. 3. 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. 4. 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. 4. In-situ OAM Metadata Transport in IPv4 Transport of in-situ OAM data in IPv4 will use GRE encapsulation. 4.1. In-situ OAM Metadata Transport in GRE GRE encapsulation is defined in [RFC2784]. IOAM is defined as a "Protocol Type" TBD_IANA_ETHERNET_NUMBER_IOAM and follows GRE header. The different IOAM data fields defined in [I-D.brockners-inband-oam-data] are added as options within a new IOAM protocol header following GRE header. In an administrative domain where IOAM is used, insertion of the IOAM protocol header in GRE is enabled at the GRE tunnel endpoints which also serve as IOAM encapsulating/decapsulating nodes by means of configuration.

Next Protocol Type: 16 bits Next Protocol Type field contains the protocol type of the packet following IOAM protocol header. These Protocol Types are defined in [RFC3232] as "ETHER TYPES" and in [ETYPES]. An implementation receiving a packet containing a Protocol Type which is not listed in [RFC3232] or [ETYPES] SHOULD discard the packet. IOAM options: Variable-length field, of length such that the complete in-situ OAM header is an integer multiple of 8 octets long.

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.

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 iIOAM types are added as options within a new IOAM protocol header in VXLAN GPE.

In-situ OAM in SR with IPv6 Transport Similar to NSH, a policy 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. A new "POT TLV" is defined for the SRH which is to carry proof of transit in situ OAM data. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | RESERVED |F| Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ |IOAM POT Type|P| Reserved (MBZ) | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | Random | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ P | Random(contd.) | O +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ T | Cumulative | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | Cumulative (contd.) | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ Brockners, et al.
