Abstract:
IPsec is a mature technology with several interoperable
implementations. Indeed, the use of IPsec tunnels is increasingly
gaining popularity in several deployment scenarios, not the least in
what used to be solely areas of traditional telecommunication
protocols. Wider deployment calls for mechanisms and methods that
enable tunnel end-users, as well as operators, to measure one-way and
two-way network performance. Unfortunately, however, standard IP
performance measurement security mechanisms cannot be readily used
with IPsec. This document makes the case for employing IPsec to
protect the One-way and Two-Way Active Measurement Protocols (O/
TWAMP) and proposes a method which combines IKEv2 and O/TWAMP as
defined in RFC 4656 and RFC 5357, respectively. This specification
aims, on the one hand, to ensure that O/TWAMP can be secured with the
best mechanisms we have at our disposal today while, on the other
hand, it facilitates the applicability of O/TWAMP to networks that
have already deployed IPsec.
