1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm and
   greatly simplifies network operations for Software Defined Networks
   (SDNs).  SR is applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-
   MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) data planes [RFC8402].  SR Policies as defined
   in [RFC9256] are used to steer traffic through a specific, user-
   defined paths using a stack of Segments.  A comprehensive SR

Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR       March 2023

   Performance Measurement (PM) for delay and packet loss as well as
   Connectivity Verification (CV) is one of the essential requirements
   to measure network performance to provide Service Level Agreements
   (SLAs).

   The Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) provides
   capabilities for the measurement of various performance metrics in IP
   networks [RFC8762] without the use of a control channel to pre-signal
   session parameters.  As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm],
   STAMP can be used for performance measurement of one-way, two-way or
   round-trip delay and packet loss of end-to-end SR paths.

   STAMP requires RFC8762 protocol support on the Session-Reflector to
   process the received test packets, and hence the received test
   packets need to be punted from the forwarding fast path and return
   test packets need to be generated.  This limits the scale for number
   test sessions and the ability to provide faster detection interval.
   The loopback measurement mode defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm]
   does not require STAMP test packet processing on Session-Reflector,
   however, it does not provide accurate one-way delay.

   This document defines procedure for Enhanced Performance Measurement
   of end-to-end SR paths including SR Policies for both SR-MPLS and
   SRv6 data planes, using Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol
   (STAMP) defined in [RFC8762].  The procedure allows to improve the
   scale for number of sessions and the interval for failure detection.

2.3.  Reference Topology

   In the reference topology shown in Figure 1, the STAMP [RFC8762]
   Session-Sender S1 initiates a Session-Sender test packet and the
   Session-Reflector R1 returns the test packet.  The return test packet
   may be transmitted back to the Session-Sender S1 on the same path
   (same set of links and nodes) or a different path in the reverse
   direction from the path taken towards the Session-Reflector R1.

   The Session-Sender S1 and Session-Reflector R1 are connected via an
   SR path [RFC8402].  The SR path can be an SR Policy [RFC9256] on node
   S1 (called head-end) with destination to node R1 (called tail-end).

3.  Overview

3.1.  Enhanced Loopback Mode Enabled with Network Programming Function

   As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm], in loopback mode, the
   STAMP Session-Sender S1 initiates Session-Sender test packets and the
   Session-Reflector R1 forwards them back to the Session-Sender S1.
   The received STAMP test packets are not punted out of the fast path
   in forwarding at the Session-Reflector.  At the Session-Reflector,
   the loopback function simply makes the necessary changes to the
   encapsulation including IP and UDP headers to return the STAMP test
   packet to the Session-Sender S1.  No STAMP test session is created on
   the Session-Reflector R1.  As described in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm], only round-trip delay can be measured
   in the loopback mode.  In SR networks, there is also a need to
   measure the one-way delay metric to provide low latency services.

   This document defines a new STAMP measurement mode, called enhanced
   loopback mode, that is loopback mode enabled with network programming
   function.  In this mode, both transmit (T1) and receive (T2)
   timestamps in data plane are collected by the Session-Sender test
   packets as shown in Figure 1.  The network programming function
   optimizes the "operations of punt test packet and generate return
   test packet" on the Session-Reflector as timestamping is implemented
   in forwarding fast path in hardware.  This helps to achieve higher
   number of STAMP test session scale and faster detection interval.

   The Session-Sender adds transmit timestamp (T1) in the payload of the
   Session-Sender test packet.  The Session-Reflector adds the receive
   timestamp (T2) in the payload of the received test packet in
   forwarding fast path in hardware without punting the test packet
   (e.g. to slow path or control-plane).  The network programming

Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR       March 2023

   function carried by the test packet enables the Session-Reflector to
   add the receive timestamp (T2) at the specified offset in the payload
   of the test packet.

4.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure

   For enhanced performance monitoring of an end-to-end SR path
   including SR Policy, STAMP Session-Sender test packets are
   transmitted in loopback mode enabled with network programming
   function to timestamp and forward the packet.

   For SR Policy, the Session-Sender test packets are transmitted using
   the Segment List (SL) of the Candidate-Path [RFC9256].  When a
   Candidate-Path has more than one Segment Lists, multiple Session-
   Sender test packets MUST be transmitted, one using each Segment List
   as described in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm].

4.1.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure for SR-MPLS Policies

   An SR-MPLS Policy may contain a number of Segment Lists (SLs).  A
   Session-Sender test packet MUST be transmitted using each Segment
   List of the SR-MPLS Policy.  The content of an example Session-Sender
   test packet for an end-to-end SR-MPLS Policy is shown in Figure 3.

   The loopback measurement mode for SR-MPLS Policies defined in
   Section 4.2.3.3 of [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm] is used and enhanced
   as described below.

   In this document, MPLS Network Action (MNA) Sub-Stack defined in
   [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr] is used for SR-MPLS data plane to enable
   network programming function for "timestamp and forward" the received
   test packet, for unauthenticated mode and authenticated mode.  The
   MNA Sub-Stack carries the MNA Label as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr] and it is a base special purpose label
   [RFC9017].  In this document, new MNA Opcode TSF (value TBA2) is
   defined for the network action.  The Ancillary Data field of the
   opcode carries 10-bits of timestamp offset in bytes and 3-bits of
   timestamp format (FMT) (value 1 for 64-bit PTPv2 or value 0 for NTP).

   In the Session-Sender test packets for SR-MPLS Policies, the MNA Sub-
   Stack with Opcode TSF (value TBA2) is added in the MPLS header as
   shown in Figure 3, to collect "Receive Timestamp" field in the
   payload of the test packet.  The Ingress-to-Egress (I2E), Hop-By-Hop
   (HBH), Select scope (IHS) is set to "I2E" when return path is IP/UDP
   and set to "Select" when the return path is SR-MPLS.  The Network
   Action Sub-Stack Length (NASL) is set to 0 when there is no Label
   Stack Entry (LSE) after this Opcode in the MNA Sub-Stack.  The U flag
   is set to skip the network action and forward the packet (and not

Gandhi, et al.          Expires 11 September 2023               [Page 6]
Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR       March 2023

   drop the packet).  The Label Stack for the reverse direction SR-MPLS
   path can be added after the MNA Sub-Stack (not shown in the Figure)
   to receive the return test packet on a specific path.

   When a Session-Reflector receives a packet with this MNA Sub-Stack
   with Opcode TSF (value TBA2), after timestamping the packet at the
   specified offset in STAMP payload, the Session-Reflector pops the MNA
   Sub-Stack (after completing any other network actions) and forwards
   the packet using the next label or IP header in the packet (just like
   the data packets for the normal traffic).

4.1.1.  Node Capability for MNA Sub-Stack with Opcode TSF

   The STAMP Session-Sender needs to know if the Session-Reflector can
   process the MNA Sub-Stack with Opcode TSF to avoid dropping the test
   packets.  The signaling extension for this capability exchange or
   local configuration are outside the scope of this document.

4.2.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure for SRv6 Policies

   An SRv6 Policy may contain a number of Segment Lists.  Each Segment
   List may contain a number of SRv6 SIDs as defined in [RFC8986],
   [I-D.filsfils-spring-net-pgm-extension-srv6-usid] and
   [I-D.ietf-spring-srv6-srh-compression].  A Session-Sender test packet
   MUST be transmitted using each Segment List of the SRv6 Policy.  An
   SRv6 Policy may contain an SRv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH) carrying
   a Segment List as described in [RFC8754].  The content of an example
   Session-Sender test packet for an end-to-end SRv6 Policy using an SRH
   is shown in Figure 4.

   The loopback measurement mode for SRv6 Policies defined in
   Section 4.2.3.4 of [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm] is used and enhanced
   as described below.

   The [RFC8986] defines SRv6 Endpoint Behaviours (EB) for SRv6 nodes.
   In this document, two new Timestamp Endpoint Behaviours are defined
   for Segment Routing Header (SRH) [RFC8754] to enable "Timestamp and
   Forward (TSF)" function for the received test packets, one for
   unauthenticated mode and one for authenticated mode.

   In the Session-Sender test packets for SRv6 Policies, Timestamp
   Endpoint Function (End.TSF) is carried with the target Segment
   Identifier (SID) in SRH [RFC8754] as shown in Figure 4, to collect
   "Receive Timestamp" field in the payload of the test packet.  The
   Segment List for the reverse direction path can be added after the
   target SID to receive the return test packet on a specific path.
   When a Session-Reflector receives a packet with Timestamp Endpoint
   (End.TSF) for the target SID which is local, after timestamping the
   packet at the specified offset, the Session-Reflector forwards the
   packet using the next SID in the SRH or inner IPv6 header in the

    Figure 3: Example STAMP Test Packet with Endpoint Function for SRv6

4.2.1.  Timestamp Endpoint Function Assignment

   New SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors are defined called "Endpoint Behavior
   bound to SID with Timestamp and Forward (TSF)" ("End.uTSF" for short
   when using SRv6 uSID).  The End.uTSF is a node SID instantiated at
   STAMP Session-Reflector node.  When the node receives a packet whose
   IPv6 Destination Address is S and S is a local End.uTEF SID, the node
   updates the 64-bit receive timestamp in PTPv2 format in the STAMP
   packet payload and forwards the packet to the next-hop router.  The
   End.uTSF is statically configured on the STAMP Session-Reflector node
   and not advertised into the routing protocols.

   Following new endpoint behaviours are statically defined on the STAMP
   Session-Reflector:

Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR       March 2023

    +----------------------------------------------+
    | Endpoint Behaviors                           |
    +----------------------------------------------+
    | End.TSF16 (Timestamp & Forward) offset 16    |
    |            for STAMP in Unauthenticated Mode |
    +----------------------------------------------+
    | End.TSF32 (Timestamp & Forward) offset 32    |
    |            for STAMP in Authenticated Mode   |
    +----------------------------------------------+

4.2.2.  Node Capability for Timestamp Endpoint Function

   The STAMP Session-Sender needs to know if the Session-Reflector can
   process the Timestamp Endpoint Function to avoid dropping test
   packets.  The signaling extension for this capability exchange is
   outside the scope of this document.

5.  Security Considerations

   The STAMP protocol is intended for deployment in limited domains
   [RFC8799].  As such, it assumes that a node involved in the STAMP
   protocol operation has previously verified the integrity of the path
   and the identity of the far-end Session-Reflector.

   The security considerations specified in [RFC8762] and [RFC8972] also
   apply to the procedures defined in this document.  Specifically, the
   message integrity protection using HMAC, as defined in Section 4.4 of
   [RFC8762] also apply to the procedure described in this document.

6.  IANA Considerations

   IANA maintains the "MNA Opcode" registry when created from IANA
   request in [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr].  IANA is requested to allocate a
   value for In-Stack Network Action (NA) Opcode for Timestamp and
   Forward from this registry:

     +--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+
     | Value  | Description                          | Reference     |
     +--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+
     | TBA2   | Timestamp and Forward Network Action | This document |
     +--------+--------------------------------------+---------------+
