Abstract

   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm.  SR is
   applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-MPLS) and IPv6
   (SRv6) forwarding planes.  This document specifies RFC 8762 (Simple
   Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP)) extensions for SR
   networks, for both SR-MPLS and SRv6 forwarding planes by augmenting
   the optional extensions defined in RFC 8972.

1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm for
   Software Defined Networks (SDNs).  SR is applicable to both
   Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) forwarding
   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 Performance Measurement (PM) toolset is
   one of the essential requirements to measure network performance to
   provide Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

Internet-Draft   Simple TWAMP Extensions for SR Networks        May 2023

   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.  [RFC8972] defines optional extensions, in the
   form of TLVs, for STAMP.  Note that the YANG data model defined in
   [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-yang] can be used to provision the STAMP
   Session-Sender and STAMP Session-Reflector.

   The STAMP test packets are transmitted along an IP path between a
   Session-Sender and a Session-Reflector to measure performance delay
   and packet loss along that IP path.  It may be desired in SR networks
   that the same path (same set of links and nodes) between the Session-
   Sender and Session-Reflector is used for the STAMP test packets in
   both directions.  This is achieved by using the STAMP [RFC8762]
   extensions for SR-MPLS and SRv6 networks specified in this document
   by augmenting the optional extensions defined in [RFC8972].

2.3.  Reference Topology

   In the reference topology shown below, the STAMP Session-Sender S1
   initiates a STAMP test packet and the STAMP Session-Reflector R1
   transmits a reply STAMP test packet.  The reply test packet may be
   transmitted 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 nodes S1 and R1 may be connected via a link or an SR path
   [RFC8402].  The link may be a physical interface, virtual link, or
   Link Aggregation Group (LAG) [IEEE802.1AX], or LAG member.  The SR
   path may be an SR Policy [RFC9256] on node S1 (called head-end) with
   destination to node R1 (called tail-end).

                          Reference Topology

3.  Destination Node Address TLV

   The Session-Sender may need to transmit test packets to the Session-
   Reflector with a different destination address that is not matching
   an address of the Session-Reflector e.g. when the STAMP test packet
   is encapsulated by a tunneling protocol e.g., an SR-MPLS Segment List
   with destination IPv4 address from 127/8 range or Segment Routing
   Header (SRH) with destination IPv6 address ::1/128.

   In an ECMP environment, the hashing function in forwarding may decide
   the outgoing path using the source address, destination address, UDP
   ports, etc. from the packet.  Hence for IPv4, for example, different
   values of IPv4 destination address from 127/8 range may be used in
   the IPv4 header to measure different ECMP paths.  For IPv6, for
   example, different values of flow-label may be used in the IPv6
   header to measure different ECMP paths.  In those cases, the STAMP
   test packet may reach the un-intended Session-Reflector in an error
   condition, and an un-intended node may transmit reply test packet
   that can result in reporting of invalid measurement metrics.

   [RFC8972] defines STAMP test packets that can include one or more
   optional TLVs.  In this document, the TLV types (value 9 for IPv4 and
   value TBA1 for IPv6) are defined for the Destination Node Address
   TLVs for the STAMP test packet [RFC8972].  The formats of the
   Destination Node Address TLVs are shown in Figure 1:

    0                   1                   2                   3

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

               Figure 1: Destination Node Address TLV Format

   TLV fields are defined as follows:

   STAMP TLV Flags : The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described
   in [RFC8972] and this document.

   Type : Type (value 9) for IPv4 Destination Node Address TLV.  Type
   (value TBA1) for IPv6 Destination Node Address TLV.

   Length : A two-octet field equal to the length of the Address field
   in octets.  The length is 4 octet for IPv4 address and 16 octet for
   IPv6 address.

   The Destination Node Address TLV is optional.  The Destination Node
   Address TLV indicates the address of the intended Session-Reflector
   node of the test packet.  The Destination Node Address is also used
   to uniquely identify the STAMP session on the Session-Reflector when
   the optional SSID is not sent.  For security reasons (e.g., to avoid
   node discovery), the Session-Reflector SHOULD use the received
   Destination Node Address as the Source Address in the IP header of
   the reply test packet, instead of using its Node Address.  The

Gandhi, et al.          Expires 30 November 2023                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft   Simple TWAMP Extensions for SR Networks        May 2023

   Session-Reflector MUST add the received Destination Node Address TLV
   in the reply test packet to ensure the symmetric reply test packet
   size and to transmit the STAMP TLV Flags to the Session-Sender.

   A Session-Reflector that recognizes this TLV, MUST set the U flag
   [RFC8972] in the reply test packet to 1 if the Session-Reflector
   determined that it is not the intended Destination as identified in
   the Destination Node Address TLV.  In this case, the Session-
   Reflector does not use the received Destination Node Address as the
   Source Address in the IP header of the reply test packet.  Otherwise,
   the Session-Reflector MUST set the U flag in the Destination Node
   Address TLV in the reply test packet to 0.

4.  Return Path TLV

   For end-to-end SR paths, the Session-Reflector may need to transmit
   the reply test packet on a specific return path.  The Session-Sender
   can request this in the test packet to the Session-Reflector using a
   Return Path TLV.  With this TLV carried in the Session-Sender test
   packet, signaling and maintaining dynamic SR network state for the
   STAMP sessions on the Session-Reflector are avoided.

   There are two modes defined for the behaviors on the Session-
   Reflector in Section 4 of [RFC8762].  A Stateful Session-Reflector
   that requires configuration that must match all Session-Sender
   parameters, including Source Address, Destination Address, Source UDP
   Port, Destination UDP Port, and possibly SSID (assuming the SSID is
   configurable and not auto-generated).  In this case, a local policy
   can be used to direct the test packet by creating additional states
   for the STAMP sessions on the Session-Reflector.  In the case of
   promiscuous operation, the Stateless Session-Reflector will require
   an indication of how to return the test packet on a specific path,
   for example, measurement in an ECMP environment.

   For links, the Session-Reflector may need to transmit the reply test
   packet on the same incoming link in the reverse direction.  The
   Session-Sender can request this in the test packet to the Session-
   Reflector using a Return Path TLV.

   [RFC8972] defines STAMP test packets that can include one or more
   optional TLVs.  In this document, the TLV Type (value 10) is defined
   for the Return Path TLV that carries the return path for the Session-
   Sender test packet.  The format of the Return Path TLV is shown in
   Figure 2:

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                         Figure 2: Return Path TLV

   TLV fields are defined as follows:

   STAMP TLV Flags : The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described
   in [RFC8972] and this document.

   Type : Type (value 10) for Return Path TLV.

   Length : A two-octet field equal to the length of the Return Path
   Sub-TLVs field in octets.

   Return Path Sub-TLVs : As defined in Section 5.1.

   The Return Path TLV is optional.  The Session-Sender MUST only insert
   one Return Path TLV in the STAMP test packet.  The Session-Reflector
   that supports this TLV, MUST only process the first Return Path TLV
   in the test packet and ignore other Return Path TLVs if present, and
   it MUST add the received Return Path TLV (including all Sub-TLVs) in
   the reply test packet to ensure the symmetric reply test packet size
   and to transmit the STAMP TLV Flags to the Session-Sender.  The
   Session-Reflector that supports this TLV MUST reply using the Return
   Path received in the Session-Sender test packet.  In the case where
   the Session-Reflector does not support this TLV, the procedure
   defined in [RFC8762] is followed by the Session-Reflector.

   A Session-Reflector that recognizes this TLV, MUST set the U flag
   [RFC8972] in the reply test packet to 1 if the Session-Reflector
   determined that it cannot use the return path in the test packet to
   transmit the reply test packet.  Otherwise, the Session-Reflector
   MUST set the U flag in the reply test packet to 0.

4.1.  Return Path Sub-TLVs

   The Return Path TLV contains one or more Sub-TLVs to carry the
   information for the requested return path.  A Return Path Sub-TLV can
   carry Return Path Control Code, Return Path IP Address or Return Path
   Segment List.

Gandhi, et al.          Expires 30 November 2023                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft   Simple TWAMP Extensions for SR Networks        May 2023

   The STAMP Sub-TLV Flags are set using the procedures described in
   [RFC8972].

   When the Return Path Sub-TLV is present in the Session-Sender test
   packet, the Session-Reflector that supports this TLV, MUST transmit
   the reply test packet using the return path information specified in
   the Return Path Sub-TLV.

   A Return Path TLV MUST NOT contain both Control Code Sub-TLV as well
   as Return Address or Return Segment List Sub-TLV.

4.1.1.  Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV

   The format of the Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV is shown in
   Figure 3.  The Type of the Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV is
   defined as following:

    0                   1                   2                   3

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

             Figure 3: Control Code Sub-TLV in Return Path TLV

   TLV fields are defined as follows:

   *  Type (value 1): Return Path Control Code.  The Session-Sender can
      request the Session-Reflector to transmit the reply test packet
      based on the flags defined in the Control Code Flags field.

   STAMP TLV Flags : The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described
   in [RFC8972] and this document.

   Length : A two-octet field equal to the length of the Control Code
   flags which is 4 octets.

   Control Code Flags (32-bit): Reply Request Flag at bit 31 (least
   significant bit) is defined as follows.

       0x0 : No Reply Requested.

       0x1 : Reply Requested on the Same Link.

Gandhi, et al.          Expires 30 November 2023                [Page 8]
Internet-Draft   Simple TWAMP Extensions for SR Networks        May 2023

   When Control Code flag for Reply Request is set to 0x0 in the
   Session-Sender test packet, the Session-Reflector does not transmit
   reply test packet to the Session-Sender and terminates the STAMP test
   packet.  Only the one-way measurement is applicable in this case.
   Optionally, the Session-Reflector may locally stream performance
   metrics via telemetry using the information from the received test
   packet.  All other Return Path Sub-TLVs MUST be ignored in this case.

   When Control Code flag for Reply Request is set to 0x1 in the
   Session-Sender test packet, the Session-Reflector transmits the reply
   test packet over the same incoming link where the test packet is
   received in the reverse direction towards the Session-Sender.  The
   link may be a physical interface, virtual link, or Link Aggregation
   Group (LAG) [IEEE802.1AX], or LAG member.  All other Return Path Sub-
   TLVs MUST be ignored in this case.  When using LAG member links,
   STAMP extension for Micro-Session ID TLV defined in
   [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-on-lag] can be used to identify the link.

4.1.2.  Return Address Sub-TLV

   The STAMP reply test packet may be transmitted to the Session-Sender
   to a different destination address on the Session-Sender using Return
   Path TLV.  This address is different than the Source Address in the
   Session-Sender test packet where normally the reply test packet is
   sent by the Session Reflector.  For this, the Session-Sender can
   specify in the test packet, the receiving destination node address
   for the Session-Reflector reply test packet.  When transmitting the
   STAMP test packet to a different destination address, the Session-
   Sender MUST follow the procedure defined in Section 4.3 of [RFC8762].

   The formats of the IPv4 and IPv6 Return Address Sub-TLVs are shown in
   Figure 4.

            Figure 4: Return Address Sub-TLV in Return Path TLV

   The TLV fields are defined as follows:

   *  Type : Type (value 2) for IPv4 Return Address.  Type (value 5) for
      IPv6 Return Address.

   The Return Address is the Destination Address of the Session-
   Reflector reply test packet and is different than the Source Address
   in the Session-Sender test packet.

   STAMP TLV Flags : The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described
   in [RFC8972] and this document.

   Length : A two-octet field equal to the length of the Return Address
   field in octets.  The length is 4 octet for IPv4 address and 16 octet
   for IPv6 address.

4.1.3.  Return Segment List Sub-TLVs

   The format of the Segment List Sub-TLVs in the Return Path TLV is
   shown in Figures 5 and 6.  The Segments carried in Segment List Sub-
   TLVs are described in [RFC8402].  The segment entries MUST be in
   network order.

   The Session-Sender MUST only insert one Segment List Return Path Sub-
   TLV in the test packet.  The Session-Reflector MUST only process the
   first Segment List Return Path Sub-TLV in the test packet and ignore
   other Segment List Return Path Sub-TLVs if present.

5.  Interoperability with TWAMP Light

   This document does not introduce any additional considerations for
   interoperability with TWAMP Light than those described in Section 4.6
   of [RFC8762].

   As desctibed in [RFC8762], there are two possible combinations for
   such a interoperability use case:

   - STAMP Session-Sender with TWAMP Light Session-Reflector

   - TWAMP Light Session-Sender with STAMP Session-Reflector

   If any of STAMP extensions defined in this document are used by STAMP
   Session-Sender, the TWAMP Light Session-Reflector will view them as
   the Packet Padding field.

Internet-Draft   Simple TWAMP Extensions for SR Networks        May 2023

6.  Security Considerations

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

   If desired, attacks can be mitigated by performing basic validation
   and sanity checks, at the Session-Sender, of the timestamp fields in
   received reply test packets.  The minimal state associated with these
   protocols also limits the extent of measurement disruption that can
   be caused by a corrupt or invalid test packet to a single test cycle.

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

   STAMP uses the well-known UDP port number that could become a target
   of denial of service (DoS) or could be used to aid man-in-the-middle
   (MITM) attacks.  Thus, the security considerations and measures to
   mitigate the risk of the attack documented in Section 6 of [RFC8545]
   equally apply to the STAMP extensions in this document.

   The STAMP extensions defined in this document may be used for
   potential "proxying" attacks.  For example, a Session-Sender may
   specify a return path that has a destination different from that of
   the Session-Sender.  But normally, such attacks will not happen in an
   SR domain where the Session-Senders and Session-Reflectors belong to
   the same domain.  In order to prevent using the extension defined in
   this document for proxying any possible attacks, the return path has
   destination to the same node where the forward path is from.  The
   Session-Reflector may drop the Session-Sender test packet when it
   cannot determine whether the Return Path has the destination to the
   Session-Sender.  That means, the Session-Sender should choose a
   proper source address according to the specified Return Path to help
   the Session-Reflector to make that decision.

7.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has created the "STAMP TLV Types" registry for [RFC8972].  IANA
   has early allocated a value for the Destination Address TLV Type and
   a value for the Return Path TLV Type from the IETF Review TLV range
   of the same registry.
