Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR      August 2023


1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm and
   greatly simplifies network operations for Software Defined Networks
   (SDNs).  SR is applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-
   MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) data 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) for delay and packet loss as well as
   Connectivity Verification (CV) is one of the essential requirements
   to measure network performance to provide Service Level Agreements
   (SLAs).

   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.  As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm],
   STAMP can be used for performance measurement of one-way, two-way or
   round-trip delay and packet loss of end-to-end SR paths.

   STAMP requires RFC8762 protocol support on the Session-Reflector to
   process the received test packets, and hence the received test
   packets need to be punted from the forwarding fast path and return
   test packets need to be generated.  This limits the scale for number
   test sessions and the ability to provide faster measurement interval.
   The loopback measurement mode defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm]
   does not require STAMP test packet processing on Session-Reflector,
   however, it does not provide accurate one-way delay.

   This document defines procedure for Enhanced Performance Measurement
   of end-to-end SR paths including SR Policies for both SR-MPLS and
   SRv6 data planes, using Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol
   (STAMP) defined in [RFC8762].  The procedure allows to improve the
   scale for number of sessions and the interval for measurement.

   Session-Sender S1 initiates a Session-Sender test packet and the
   Session-Reflector R1 returns the test packet.  The return test packet
   may be transmitted back 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 Session-Sender S1 and Session-Reflector R1 are connected via an
   SR path [RFC8402].  The SR path can be an SR Policy [RFC9256] on node
   S1 (called head-end) with destination to node R1 (called tail-end).

     Figure 1: Loopback Mode Enabled with Network Programming Function

3.  Overview

   As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm], in loopback mode, the
   STAMP Session-Sender S1 initiates Session-Sender test packets and the
   Session-Reflector R1 forwards them back to the Session-Sender S1.
   The received STAMP test packets are not punted out of the fast path
   in forwarding at the Session-Reflector.  At the Session-Reflector,
   the loopback function simply makes the necessary changes to the
   encapsulation including IP and UDP headers to return the STAMP test
   packet to the Session-Sender S1.  No STAMP test session is created on
   the Session-Reflector R1.  As described in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm], only loopback delay can be measured in
   the loopback mode.  In SR networks, there is also a need to measure
   the one-way delay metric to provide low latency services.

3.1.  Enhanced Loopback Mode Enabled with Network Programming Function

   This document defines a new STAMP measurement mode, called enhanced
   loopback mode, that is loopback mode enabled with network programming
   function.  In this mode, both transmit (T1) and receive (T2)
   timestamps in data plane are collected by the Session-Sender test
   packets as shown in Figure 1.  The network programming function
   optimizes the "operations of punt test packet and generate return
   test packet" on the Session-Reflector as timestamping is implemented
   in forwarding fast path in hardware.  This helps to achieve higher
   number of STAMP test session scale and faster measurement interval.

Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR      August 2023


   The Session-Sender adds transmit timestamp (T1) in the payload of the
   Session-Sender test packet.  The Session-Reflector adds the receive
   timestamp (T2) in the payload of the received test packet in
   forwarding fast path in hardware without punting the test packet
   (e.g., to slow path or control-plane).  The network programming
   function carried by the test packet enables the Session-Reflector to
   add the receive timestamp (T2) at the specific offset in the payload
   of the test packet.

4.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure

   For enhanced performance monitoring of an end-to-end SR path
   including SR Policy, STAMP Session-Sender test packets are
   transmitted in loopback mode enabled with network programming
   function to timestamp and forward the packet.

   For SR Policy, the Session-Sender test packets are transmitted using
   the Segment List of the Candidate-Path [RFC9256].  When a Candidate-
   Path has more than one Segment List, multiple Session-Sender test
   packets MUST be transmitted, one using each Segment List as described
   in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm].

4.1.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure for SR-MPLS Policies

   An SR-MPLS Policy Candidate-Path may contain a number of Segment
   Lists.  A Session-Sender test packet MUST be transmitted using each
   Segment List of the SR-MPLS Policy.  The content of an example
   Session-Sender test packet for an end-to-end SR-MPLS Policy is shown
   in Figure 3.

   The loopback measurement mode for SR-MPLS Policies defined in
   Section 4.2.3.3 of [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm] is used and enhanced
   as described below.

   MPLS Network Action (MNA) Sub-Stack defined in
   [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr] is used for SR-MPLS data plane to enable
   network programming function of "timestamp and forward" for the
   received test packet.  The MNA Sub-Stack carries the MNA Label (value
   TBA1) as defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr].  A new MNA Opcode (value
   MNA.TSF) is defined for the Timestamp and Forward network action.

   In the Session-Sender test packets for SR-MPLS Policies, the MNA Sub-
   Stack with Opcode MNA.TSF is added in the MPLS header as shown in
   Figure 3, to collect "Receive Timestamp" field in the payload of the
   test packet.  The Ingress-to-Egress (I2E), Hop-By-Hop (HBH), Select
   scope (IHS) is set to "I2E" when return path is IP/UDP and set to
   "Select" when the return path is SR-MPLS.  The Network Action Sub-
   Stack Length (NASL) is set to 0 when there is no Label Stack Entry



Gandhi, et al.          Expires 12 February 2024                [Page 6]

   (LSE) after the MNA.TSF Opcode in the MNA Sub-Stack.  The U flag is
   set to skip the network action and forward the packet (and not drop
   the packet).  The Label Stack for the reverse direction SR-MPLS path
   can be added after the MNA Sub-Stack (not shown in the Figure 3) to
   receive the return test packet on a specific path.

   When a Session-Reflector receives a packet with MNA Sub-Stack with
   Opcode MNA.TSF, after timestamping the packet in STAMP payload at the
   specific offset, the Session-Reflector pops the MNA Sub-Stack (after
   completing any other network actions) and forwards the packet using
   the next label or IP header in the packet (just like the data packets
   for the normal traffic).

4.1.1.  Timestamp and Forward Network Action Assignment

   New MPLS Network Action Opcode is defined called "Timestamp and
   Forward Network Action, MNA.TSF".  The MNA.TSF Opcode is statically
   configured on the STAMP Session-Reflector node with a value from
   "Private Use from Range 111-126".  The timestamp format for 64-bit
   PTPv2 and NTP to be added in the STAMP payload is statically
   configured for MNA.TSF.  The offset in the STAMP payload (e.g., for
   unauthenticated mode (value 16)) is also statically configured for
   MNA.TSF.

4.1.2.  Node Capability for MNA Sub-Stack with Opcode MNA.TSF

   The STAMP Session-Sender needs to know if the Session-Reflector can
   process the MNA Sub-Stack with Opcode MNA.TSF to avoid dropping the
   test packets.  The signaling extension for this capability exchange
   or local configuration are outside the scope of this document.

4.2.  Enhanced Performance Measurement Procedure for SRv6 Policies

   An SRv6 Policy Candidate-Path may contain a number of Segment Lists.
   Each Segment List may contain a number of SRv6 SIDs as defined in
   [RFC8986].  A Session-Sender test packet MUST be transmitted using
   each Segment List of the SRv6 Policy.  An SRv6 Policy may contain an
   SRv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH) carrying a Segment List as
   described in [RFC8754].  The content of an example Session-Sender
   test packet for an end-to-end SRv6 Policy using an SRH is shown in
   Figure 4.

   The loopback measurement mode for SRv6 Policies defined in
   Section 4.2.3.4 of [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm] is used and enhanced
   as described below.

   The [RFC8986] defines SRv6 Endpoint Behaviours for SRv6 nodes.  A new
   Timestamp and Forward Endpoint Behaviour is defined for Segment
   Routing Header (SRH) [RFC8754] to enable "Timestamp and Forward
   (TSF)" function for the received test packets.

Internet-Draft   Enhanced Performance Measurement in SR      August 2023


   In the Session-Sender test packets for SRv6 Policies, Timestamp and
   Forward Endpoint Function (End.TSF) is carried with the target
   Segment Identifier (SID) in SRH [RFC8754] as shown in Figure 4, to
   collect "Receive Timestamp" field in the payload of the test packet.
   The Segment List for the reverse direction path can be added after
   the target SID to receive the return test packet on a specific path.
   When a Session-Reflector receives a packet with Timestamp and Forward
   Endpoint (End.TSF) for the target SID, which is local, after
   timestamping the packet at the specific offset, the Session-Reflector
   forwards the packet using the next SID in the SRH or inner IPv6
   header in the packet (just like the data packets for the normal

4.2.1.  Timestamp and Forward Endpoint Function Assignment

   New SRv6 Endpoint Behavior is defined called "Endpoint Behavior bound
   to SID with Timestamp and Forward (End.TSF)".  The End.TSF is a node
   SID instantiated at STAMP Session-Reflector node.  The End.TSF is
   statically configured on the STAMP Session-Reflector node and not
   advertised into the routing protocols.  The timestamp format for
   64-bit PTPv2 and NTP to be added in the STAMP payload is statically
   configured for End.TSF.  The offset in the STAMP payload (e.g., for
   unauthenticated mode (value 16)) is also statically configured for
   End.TSF.

4.2.2.  Node Capability for Timestamp and Forward Endpoint Function

   The STAMP Session-Sender needs to know if the Session-Reflector can
   process the Timestamp and Forward Endpoint Function to avoid dropping
   test packets.  The signaling extension for this capability exchange
   or local configuration are outside the scope of this document.

5.  Security Considerations

   The procedures defined in this document is intended for deployment in
   a single operator network domain.  As such, the Session-Sender
   address, Session-Reflector address, and IP and SR forward and return
   paths are provisioned by the operator for the STAMP session.  It is
   assumed that the operator has verified the integrity of the IP and SR
   forward and return paths used to transmit STAMP test packets.

   The Security Considerations specified in [RFC8762] and [RFC8972] also
   apply to the procedures defined in this document.

   The Security Considerations specified in [I-D.ietf-spring-stamp-srpm]
   are also applicable to the procedures defined in this document.

   The Security Considerations specified in [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr] are
   also applicable to the procedures defined in this document.

   The Security Considerations specified in [RFC8986] are also
   applicable to the procedures defined in this document.

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document does not require any IANA action.
