Abstract

The purpose of this memo is to describe a new IOAM Node Data Field type, called Flex Field, for In-Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM). This option type, under IOAM Trace Option-Types will allow one to append variable length node data in an IOAM packet, along a network path.
