Technical Summary
RFC8250 describes an optional Destination Option (DO) header embedded
in each packet to provide sequence numbers and timing information as
a basis for measurements. As this data is sent in clear-text, this
may create an opportunity for malicious actors to get information for
subsequent attacks. This document defines PDMv2 which has a
lightweight handshake (registration procedure) and encryption to
secure this data. Additional performance metrics which may be of use
are also defined.
Working Group Summary
This document received support and reviews from the WG as a whole, although
the primary reviewers and commenters were a slightly different subset from
the normally most active IPPM members. This is due to the fact that IPPM
has several different "tracks" of participation, where subsets of the community
are more focused on their own topics. However, the consensus and support
of those who did comment was pretty clear.
There were no particular controversies during the development of the document.
Much of the development and iteration on the draft was in trying to refine the
security aspects, and going back and forth with SECDIR reviewers.
Document Quality
Implementations have been tested at hackathons with results presented
at WG meetings.
This document is a new version of a protocol previously developed in IPPM, and
is primarily focused within the group.
