                      Performance Measurement in 
              Segment Routing Networks with MPLS Data Plane
                   draft-gandhi-spring-sr-mpls-pm-01 

Abstract

   RFC 6374 specifies protocol mechanisms to enable the efficient and
   accurate measurement of packet loss, one-way and two-way delay, as
   well as related metrics such as delay variation in MPLS networks. 
   This document reviews how these mechanisms can be used for Delay and
   Loss Performance Measurements (PM) in Segment Routing (SR) networks
   with MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS), for both SR links and end-to-end SR
   Policies.  The measured performance values for SR links are used to
   compute extended metrics for delay and loss and are advertised in the
   network.
