1. Introduction
In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is used
for recording and collecting operational and telemetry information
while the packet traverses a path between two points in the network.
The term "in-situ" refers to the fact that the IOAM data fields are
added to the data packets rather than being sent within the probe
packets specifically dedicated to OAM. The IOAM data fields are
defined in [RFC9197]. The IOAM data fields are further updated in
[I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export] for direct export use-cases.

Internet-Draft In-situ OAM for MPLS Data plane October 2022
This document defines how IOAM data fields are transported with MPLS
data plane encapsulations using MPLS Network Action (MNA)
[I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-fwk].
Note: This document uses MNA encoding defined in Individual Internet
Drafts as examples. The MNA encoding will be updated to align with
the MNA solutions in the WG adopted Internet Drafts.

3. MPLS Extensions for IOAM Data Fields
3.1. IOAM Extension Header
The IOAM extension headers containing different IOAM-Data-Fields are
added in the MPLS packet as shown in Figure 1. The IOAM-Data-Fields
MUST follow the definitions corresponding to the IOAM-Option-Types
(e.g., see Section 4.4 of [RFC9197] and Section 3 of
[I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export]).
An IOAM extension header uses Extension Header (EH) defined in
[I-D.song-mpls-extension-header].

Figure 1: Extension Headers with IOAM Data Fields
The 4-Octet Common Header CH) is added with the following fields in
the MPLS header as defined in [I-D.song-mpls-extension-header]:
1ST-NIBBLE (R): The first 4-bit is Reserved (value TBA4).
EH-CN (EHC): The EH Count, number of EHs carried in the packet.
EH-TOTAL-LEN (EHTL): Total Length of EHs in the packet in 4-octet
units.
ORIG-UL-PROTOCOL (OUL): The Original Upper Layer Protocol.
NEXT-HDR (NH): The Next Header protocol. For IOAM as Next Header,
value TBA2 is to be assigned by IANA.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 6 April 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft In-situ OAM for MPLS Data plane October 2022
IOAM-Data-Fields are added in EHs containing the following fields:
IOAM-OPT-TYPE: 8-bit field defining the IOAM Option type, as defined
in the "IOAM Option-Type Registry" specified in [RFC9197] and
[I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export]).
IOAM-HDR-LEN: 8-bit unsigned integer. Length of the IOAM Header in
4-octet units.
IOAM Option and Data Space: IOAM-Data-Fields as specified by the
IOAM-OPT-Type field. IOAM-Data-Fields are defined corresponding to
the IOAM-Option-Type (e.g., see Section 4.4 of [RFC9197] and
Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export].
BLOCK-NUMBER: The Block Number can be used to aggregate the IOAM
data collected in data plane, e.g., to compute measurement metrics
for each block of a data flow. It is also used to correlate the
IOAM data on different nodes.
3.2. Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicators
A Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator MUST be added to
indicate the presence of the IOAM-Data-Fields in the MPLS header. If
both edge and intermediate nodes need to process IOAM data then both
the Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator and the HBH Network
Action Processing Indicator MUST be added. The HBH Network Action
Processing Indicator allows to optimize the IOAM processing on the
intermediate nodes and avoids the need to parse all IOAM-Data-Fields.
A flag called PNI (Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator) in
the TTL field defined in [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr] is used in this
document to indicate the presence of IOAM Post-Stack Network Action
and Ancillary Data.
A flag called HPI (Hop-By-Hop Post-Stack Network Action Processing
Indicator) in the TTL field defined in [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr] is
used to indicate that HBH processing is required for the Post-Stack
Network Action and the associated Ancillary Data.
The MNA Label used in this document is a Base Special Purpose Label
(bSPL value TBA1 to be assigned by IANA), and is defined as Network
Action Sub-Stack Indicator (NASI) in [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr].

Figure 2: Example MPLS Encapsulation for E2E IOAM
The E2E IOAM-Data-Fields carry the Option-Type(s) that require
processing on the encapsulating and decapsulating nodes only. The
IOAM Option-Type carried can be IOAM Edge-to-Edge Option-Type (value
3) [RFC9197] as well as Direct Export (DEX) Option-Type (value 4, to
be assigned by IANA) defined in [I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export].
The E2E IOAM-Data-Fields SHOULD NOT carry any IOAM Option-Type that
require IOAM processing on the intermediate nodes as it will not be
processed by them since HPI flag is not set.
4.2. Procedure for Edge-to-Edge IOAM Network Action
The E2E IOM Network Action procedure is summarized as following:
* The encapsulating node inserts the MNA Label (bSPL value TBA1)
with the Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (TTL Flag
PNI) set to "1" below the label whose FEC is the decapsulating
node and one or more IOAM-Data-Fields in the MPLS packet.
* The intermediate nodes do not process IOAM-Data-Fields.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 6 April 2023 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft In-situ OAM for MPLS Data plane October 2022
* The penultimate node MUST NOT remove the MNA Sub-stack from the
MPLS header so that the MNA Sub-stack is received at the
decapsulating node. This encapsulating node adds required MPLS
header so that the received packet on the penultimate node does
not have MNA Sub-stack at the top of the Label stack.
* The decapsulating node MAY punt a copy of the packet with the
receive timestamp to the slow path for IOAM-Data-Fields processing
when the node recognizes the PNI is set to "1". The receive
timestamp is required by the various E2E OAM use-cases, including
streaming telemetry. Note that the packet is not necessarily
punted to the control-plane.
* The decapsulating node processes the IOAM-Data-Fields using the
procedures defined in [RFC9197]. An example of IOAM processing is
to export the IOAM-Data-Fields, send IOAM-Data-Fields via
streaming telemetry, etc.
* The decapsulating node MUST remove the IOAM-Data-Fields from the
received packet. The decapsulated packet is forwarded downstream
or terminated locally similar to the regular IOAM-Data-Fields.
5. Hop-By-Hop IOAM Network Action
5.1. Hop-By-Hop Post-Stack Network Action Processing Indicator
The Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (TTL Flag PNI) along
with Hop-By-Hop Processing Indicator (TTL Flag HPI) are set to "1" to
indicate the presence of the HBH IOAM-Data-Fields in the MPLS header
as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Example MPLS Encapsulation for HBH IOAM
The HBH IOAM-Data-Fields carry the Option-Type(s) that require
processing at the intermediate and/or encapsulating and decapsulating
nodes. The IOAM Option-Type carried can be IOAM Pre-allocated Trace
Option-Type (value 0), IOAM Incremental Trace Option-Type (value 1)
and IOAM Proof of Transit (POT) Option-Type (value 2), and Edge-to-
Edge Option-Type (value 3) defined in [RFC9197] as well as Direct
Export (DEX) Option-Type (value 4, to be assigned by IANA) defined in
[I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export].
5.2. Procedure for Hop-By-Hop IOAM Network Action
The Hop-By-Hop IOAM Network Action procedure is summarized as
following:
* The encapsulating node inserts the MNA Label (bSPL value TBA1)
with the Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (TTL Flag
PNI) and HBH Processing Indicator (TTL Flag HPI) set to "1" below
the label whose FEC is the decapsulating node and one or more
IOAM-Data-Fields in the MPLS packet.
* The intermediate node enabled with HBH IOAM function processes the
data packet including the IOAM-Data-Fields as defined in [RFC9197]
and [I-D.ietf-ippm-ioam-direct-export] when the node recognizes
the HBH Processing Indicator in the MPLS header.
* The intermediate node MAY punt a copy of the packet with the
receive timestamp to the slow path for IOAM-Data-Fields processing
when the node recognizes the HBH Processing Indicator. The
receive timestamp is required by the various HBH OAM use-cases,
including streaming telemetry. Note that the packet is not
necessarily punted to the control-plane.
* The intermediate node forwards a copy of the processed data packet
downstream.
* The behavior on the penultimate node is same as E2E case.
* The processing on the decapsulating node is same as E2E case.
5.3. Hop-By-Hop and Edge-To-Edge IOAM Extension Headers
Both HBH and E2E IOAM EHs may be added in an MPLS header. In this
case the HBH IOAM EHs MUST be added after the BOS and before the E2E
IOAM EHs. When an intermediate node encounters the first E2E IOAM
EH, it will stop processing of the E2E EH.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 6 April 2023 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft In-situ OAM for MPLS Data plane October 2022
6. Considerations for IOAM
6.1. Considerations for ECMP
The encapsulating node needs to make sure the IOAM-Data-Fields do not
start with a well-known IP Version Number (e.g. 0x4 for IPv4 and 0x6
for IPv6) as that can alter the hashing function for ECMP that uses
the IP header. This is achieved by using the Common Header (CH) with
a different IP Version Number (value TBA4) after the MPLS label
stack.
6.2. Node Capability
The decapsulating node that has to remove the IOAM-Data-Fields and
perform the IOAM function may not be capable of supporting it. The
encapsulating node needs to know if the decapsulating node can
support the IOAM function. The signaling extension for this
capability exchange is outside the scope of this document.
The intermediate node that is not capable of supporting the IOAM
functions defined in this document, can simply skip the IOAM
processing.
The node that does not recognize the MNA Label received at the top of
the label stack will drop the packet.
6.3. Nested MPLS Encapsulation
When a packet is received with MPLS Encapsulated IOAM Network Action,
the nested MPLS encapsulating node that supports a different IOAM
Network Action, the node MUST add a new MNA Label (with Sub-Stack)
with the supported IOAM Network Action as part of the new MPLS
encapsulation.
7. Security Considerations
The security considerations of IOAM in general are discussed in
[RFC9197] and apply to the procedure defined in this document.
IOAM is considered a "per domain" feature, where one or several
operators decide on configuring IOAM according to their needs. IOAM
is intended for deployment in limited domains [RFC8799]. As such, it
assumes that a node involved in IOAM operation has previously
verified the integrity of the path. Still, operators need to
properly secure the IOAM domain to avoid malicious configuration and
use, which could include injecting malicious IOAM packets into the
domain.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 6 April 2023 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft In-situ OAM for MPLS Data plane October 2022
8. IANA Considerations
The encoding of Next-Header uses the same value registry for IPv4/
IPv6 protocol numbers. The value TBA2 for IOAM as Next Header shall
be assigned by IANA from the "Protocol Numbers" registry
(https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-
numbers.xhtml).
