Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm.  SR is
   applicable to Multiprotocol Label Switching data plane (SR-MPLS) as
   specified in RFC 8402.  RFC 6374 and RFC 7876 specify protocol
   mechanisms to enable 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.  RFC 9341 defines Alternate-Marking
   Method using Block Number (BN) for data correlation mechanism for
   packet loss measurement.  This document utilizes these mechanisms for
   Performance Delay and Loss Measurements in SR-MPLS networks, for both
   links and end-to-end SR-MPLS paths including Policies.
