Geneve encapsulation for In-situ OAM Data
draft-brockners-ippm-ioam-geneve-03
Abstract
In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) records
operational and telemetry information in the packet while the packet
traverses a path between two points in the network. This document
outlines how IOAM data fields are encapsulated in Geneve.

1. Introduction
In-situ OAM (IOAM) records OAM information within the packet while
the packet traverses a particular network domain. The term "in-situ"
refers to the fact that the IOAM data fields are added to the data
packets rather than is being sent within packets specifically
dedicated to OAM. This document defines how IOAM data fields are
transported as part of the Geneve [I-D.ietf-nvo3-geneve]
encapsulation. The IOAM data fields are defined in
