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
Gandhi, et al. Expires 14 July 2023 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
defined in [RFC9197]. The IOAM data fields are further updated in
[RFC9326] for direct export use-cases.
This document defines how IOAM data fields are transported with MPLS
data plane encapsulations using MPLS Network Action (MNA) and follows
the framework defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-fwk].
[I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr] defines mechanisms for carrying MNA header
and Network Actions Sub-Stack (NAS) above the Bottom of the label
stack (BOS) and [I-D.song-mpls-extension-header] defines mechanisms
for carrying Post-Stack Data (PSD) in MPLS extension headers (EHs)
after the Bottom of the label stack. This document uses these two
mechanisms and describes the procedures for carrying IOAM data fields
in an MPLS header.
Note: This document uses MNA encoding solutions 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 when
they are available.

The IOAM Post-Stack Action Header (PAH) is defined using the
specification from [I-D.song-mpls-extension-header].
The IOAM Post-Stack Action Header containing different Extension
Headers (EHs) with 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 [RFC9326]).

Figure 1: Post-Stack Action Header with IOAM Data Fields in
Extension Headers
The 4-Octet Common Header CH) is added with the following fields in
the MPLS Post-Stack Action Header as defined in
[I-D.song-mpls-extension-header]:
1ST-NIBBLE (R): The first 4-bit is Reserved (value TBA3).
EH-CN (EHC): The EH Count, number of EHs carried in the Post-Stack
Data of the packet.
EH-TOTAL-LEN (EHTL): Total Length of EHs in the Post-Stack Data of
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 14 July 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
An IOAM-Data-Field is added in an EH in the PAH 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
[RFC9326]).
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 [RFC9326].
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. MNA Header for Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator and
Scope
The P flag for PNI (Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator)
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 Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (P flag) MUST be set
to "1" to indicate the presence of IOAM-Data-Fields in the MPLS
header.
The IHS scope field defined in [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr] is used to
indicate that E2E or HBH or Select processing is required for the
Post-Stack Network Action and Ancillary Data.
If both edge and intermediate nodes need to process the IOAM data
fields then IHS scope MUST be set to "HBH, value 0x1". If only edge
nodes need to process the IOAM data fields then IHS scope MUST be set
to "I2E, value 0x0". The HBH scope allows to skip the IOAM data
processing on the intermediate nodes i.e., avoids the need to parse
all IOAM-Data-Fields to detect the HBH option type.
The MNA Label used in this document is a Base Special Purpose Label
(bSPL value TBA1 to be assigned by IANA), which is Network Action
Sub-Stack Indicator [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr].
Gandhi, et al. Expires 14 July 2023 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
Opcode 2 is used to carry the Flag-Based Network Action Indicators
(NAIs) in the Ancillary Data field [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr]. The
Flag-Based Network Action Indicators can be set to 0x0 to indicate
that no Network Action other than the Post-Stack Network Action(s) is
required for the packet.
The U Flag for Unknown Action Handling is specified in
[I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr].
The Network Action Sub-Stack Length (NASL) is set to 0 when no
additional Label Stack Entry (LSE) is added after the LSE carrying
the P Flag.
The MNA Label used in this document is a Base Special Purpose Label
(bSPL value TBA1 to be assigned by IANA), which is the Network Action
Sub-Stack Indicator [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr].
4. Edge-To-Edge IOAM Network Action
4.1. MNA Header for Edge-To-Edge IOAM
The Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (P flag) is set to
"1" to indicate the presence of IOAM-Data-Fields and the IHS scope is
set to "I2E, value 0x0" to indicate the scope of E2E IOAM-Data-Fields
in the MPLS header as shown in Figure 2. Note that there may be
additional Network Action (NA) LSEs added in the MNA Sub-Stack and
NASL is updated based on the number of LSEs after the second LSE.

Figure 2: Example MNA Header for E2E IOAM
Gandhi, et al. Expires 14 July 2023 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
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) defined in [RFC9197] as well as Direct Export (DEX) Option-Type
(value 4) defined in [RFC9326]. 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 IHS
scope is set to "I2E, value 0x0".
4.2. Procedure for Edge-To-Edge IOAM Network Action
The E2E IOAM Network Action procedure is summarized as following:
* The encapsulating node inserts an MNA header with the MNA Label
(bSPL value TBA1) with the Post-Stack Network Action Presence
Indicator (P flag) set to "1" and IHS scope set to "I2E, value
0x0" and one or more IOAM-Data-Fields in the Post-Stack Network
Action Header in the MPLS packet.
* The intermediate nodes do not process IOAM-Data-Fields.
* 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 P flag 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.

5.1. MNA Header for Hop-By-Hop IOAM
The Post-Stack Network Action Presence Indicator (P flag) is set to
"1" to indicate the presence of IOAM-Data-Fields and the IHS scope is
set to "HBH, value 0x1" to indicate the scope of HBH IOAM-Data-Fields
in the MPLS header as shown in Figure 3. Note that there may be
additional Network Action (NA) LSEs added in the MNA Sub-Stack and
NASL is updated based on the number of LSEs after the second LSE.

Figure 3: Example MNA Header 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) defined in [RFC9326].
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 an MNA header containing MNA Label
(bSPL value TBA1) with the Post-Stack Network Action Presence
Indicator (P flag) and IHS scope set to "HBH, value 0x1" and one
or more IOAM-Data-Fields in the Post-Stack Network Action Header
in the MPLS packet.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 14 July 2023 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
* The intermediate node enabled with HBH IOAM function processes the
data packet including the IOAM-Data-Fields as defined in [RFC9197]
and [RFC9326] when the node recognizes the HBH scope 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 scope. 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 processing 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 that processes the HBH IOAM EHs,
encounters the first E2E IOAM EH, it will stop processing of the E2E
EH.
5.4. Procedure for Select IOAM Network Action
The procedure for carrying the IOAM EHs for Select Scope is the same
as HBH Scope IOAM except the IHS scope is set to "Select, value 0x2".
In this case, only the select nodes will process the IOAM-Data-
Fields.
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) 1ST-
NIBBLE field with a different IP Version Number (value TBA3) after
the MPLS label stack.
Gandhi, et al. Expires 14 July 2023 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft In Situ OAM for MPLS Data plane January 2023
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.
8. IANA Considerations
The MNA Label (bSPL) with value TBA1 is allocated by IANA as
requested by [I-D.jags-mpls-mna-hdr].
The 1ST-NIBBLE field with value TBA3 in the Common Header is
allocated by IANA as requested by [I-D.song-mpls-extension-header].

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
