Introduction IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX) [RFC7011] is a protocol that is widely deployed in networks for traffic management purposes (Section 2 of [RFC6632]). The protocol specifies the encoding of a set of basic data types and how the various Information Elements (IEs) are transmitted. In order to support the export of new flow- related measurement data, new IEs can be defined and registered in a dedicated IANA registry [IANA-IPFIX] for interoperability. This document specifies new IPFIX Information Elements for UDP options (Section 4). A brief overview of UDP options is provided in Section 3. Boucadair & Reddy.K Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 2] Internet-Draft IPFIX IE for UDP Options July 2024 The IE specified in Section 4.1 uses the new abstract data type ("unsigned256") defined in [I-D.ietf-opsawg-ipfix-tcpo-v6eh]. Transport (including MTU) considerations are discussed in Section 10 of [RFC7011]. Examples to illustrate the use of the new IPFIX Information Elements are provided in Section 5. 2. Conventions and Definitions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. This document uses the IPFIX-specific terminology (e.g., Flow) defined in Section 2 of [RFC7011]. As in the base IPFIX specification [RFC7011], these IPFIX-specific terms have the first letter of a word capitalized. The document adheres to the naming conventions for Information Elements per Section 2.3 of [RFC7012]. Also, this document uses the terms defined in Section 3 of [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options], especially "datagram" and "surplus area". 3. UDP Options at a Glance UDP [RFC0768] does not support an extension mechanism similar to the options supported by other transport protocols, such as TCP [RFC9293], SCTP [RFC9260], or DCCP [RFC4340]. Such a mechanism can be useful for various applications, e.g., to discover a path MTU or share timestamps. To fill that void, [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options] extends UDP with a mechanism to insert extensions in datagrams. To do so, and unlike the conventional approach that relies upon transport headers, [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options] uses trailers. Concretely, UDP options are placed in the surplus area (that is, the area of an IP payload that follows a UDP packet). See Figure 1. An example of the use of UDP options for Datagram Packetization Layer Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (DPLPMTUD) is described in [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options-dplpmtud]. Boucadair & Reddy.K Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 3] Internet-Draft IPFIX IE for UDP Options July 2024 IP transport payload <-------------------------------------------------> +--------+---------+----------------------+------------------+ | IP Hdr | UDP Hdr | UDP user data | surplus area | +--------+---------+----------------------+------------------+ <------------------------------> UDP Length Figure 1: Surplus Area Sections 4.1 and 4.2 introduce new IEs to export the observed UDP options. UDP options are unambiguously identified by means of a 1-byte field, called "Kind". Options indicated by Kind values in the range 0-191 are called SAFE options. Such options can be silently ignored by legacy receivers because they do not alter the UDP user data (Section 11 of [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options]). SAFE options are exported using the IE defined in Section 4.1. Options indicated by Kind values in the range 192-255 are called UNSAFE options. Such options are not safe for legacy receivers to ignore because they alter the UDP user data (Section 12 of [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options]). UNSAFE options are exported using the IE defined in Section 4.2. UDP options occur per-packet within a Flow and can be inserted at any time in the Flow. [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options] reserves two options for experiments: the Experimental option (EXP, Kind=127) for SAFE options and the UNSAFE Experimental option (UEXP, Kind=254). For both options, Experiment Identifiers (ExIDs) are used to differentiate concurrent use of these options. Known ExIDs are expected to be registered within IANA. Section 4.4 specifies a new IPFIX IE to export observed ExIDs in the EXP options. Also, Section 4.5 specifies a new IPFIX IE to export observed ExIDs in the UEXP options. Only 16-bit ExIDs are supported in [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options]. This document does not intend to elaborate operational guidance/ implications of UDP options. The document focuses exclusively on exporting observed UDP options in datagrams. Boucadair & Reddy.K Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 4] Internet-Draft IPFIX IE for UDP Options July 2024 4. New UDP IPFIX Information Elements RFC Editor Note: Please update "URL_IANA_UDP_OPTIONS" reference with the URL of the "UDP Option Kind Numbers" registry group and "URL_IANA_UDP_ExIDs" with the URL of the "UDP Experimental Option Experiment Identifiers (UDP ExIDs)" registry that will be created by IANA as per Section 25 of [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options]. Given the Kind structure of SAFE and UNSAFE UDP options, using one single IE that would multiplex both types of option will limit the benefits of reduced-size encoding in the presence of UNSAFE options. For example, at least 24 octets would be needed to report mandatory SAFE options that are observed in a Flow. In order to use less bits to report observed UDP options, distinct IEs are thus defined to report SAFE (Section 4.1) and UNSAFE (Section 4.2) UDP options. As further detailed in Section 5.1, only one octet is needed to report mandatory SAFE options. 4.1. udpSafeOptions Name: udpSafeOptions ElementID: TBD1 Description: Observed SAFE UDP options in a Flow. The information is encoded in a set of bit fields. Options are mapped to bits according to their option numbers. UDP option Kind 0 corresponds to the least-significant bit in the udpSafeOptions IE while Kind 191 corresponds to the 65th most- significant bit of the IE. The bit is set to 1 if the corresponding SAFE UDP option is observed at least once in the Flow. The bit is set to 0 if the option is never observed in the Flow. The 64 most-significant bits MUST be set to 0. The reduced-size encoding per Section 6.2 of [RFC7011] is followed whenever fewer octets are needed to report observed SAFE UDP options. For example, if only option Kinds <= 31 are observed, then the value of the udpSafeOptions IE can be encoded as unsigned32, or if only option Kinds <= 63 are observed, then the value of the udpSafeOptions IE can be encoded as unsigned64. The presence of udpSafeExIDList is an indication that the SAFE Boucadair & Reddy.K Expires 23 January 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft IPFIX IE for UDP Options July 2024 Experimental option is observed in a Flow. The presence of udpSafeExIDList takes precedence over setting the corresponding bit in the udpSafeOptions IE for the same Flow. In order to optimize the use of the reduced-size encoding in the presence of udpSafeExIDList IE, the Exporter MUST NOT set to 1 the EXP flag of the udpSafeOptions IE that is reported for the same Flow. Abstract Data Type: unsigned256 Data Type Semantics: flags Additional Information: See the "UDP Option Kind Numbers" registry at [URL_IANA_UDP_OPTIONS]. See [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options] for more details about UDP options. Reference: This-Document 4.2. udpUnsafeOptions Name: udpUnsafeOptions ElementID: TBD2 Description: Observed UNSAFE UDP options in a Flow. The information is encoded in a set of bit fields. Options are mapped to bits according to their option numbers. UDP option Kind 192 corresponds to the least-significant bit in the udpUnsafeOptions IE while Kind 255 corresponds to the most- significant bit of the IE. The bit is set to 1 if the corresponding UNSAFE UDP option is observed at least once in the Flow. The bit is set to 0 if the option is never observed in the Flow. The reduced-size encoding per Section 6.2 of [RFC7011] is followed whenever fewer octets are needed to report observed UNSAFE UDP options. The presence of udpUnsafeExIDList is an indication that the UNSAFE Experimental option is observed in a Flow. The presence of udpUnsafeExIDList takes precedence over setting the corresponding bit in the udpUnsafeOptions IE for the same Flow. In order to optimize the use of the reduced-size encoding in the presence of udpUnsafeExIDList IE, the Exporter MUST NOT set to 1 the UEXP flag of the udpUnsafeOptions IE that is reported for the same Flow.

Reduced-size Encoding Given the UDP Kind allocation in Section 10 of [I-D.ietf-tsvwg-udp-options] and the option mapping defined in Section 4.1 of this document, fewer octets are likely to be used for Flows with mandatory UDP options. Figure 2 shows an example of the Kind/bit mappings in the udpSafeOptions IE for a Flow in which End of Options List (EOL, Kind=0) and Alternate payload checksum (APC, Kind=2) options are observed. Only the bits that corresponds to EOL and APC options are set to 1.
