The IESG has approved the following document: - 'In-situ OAM Loopback and Active Flags' (draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-flags-10.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Performance Measurement Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Martin Duke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-flags/ Technical Summary In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) collects operational and telemetry information in packets while they traverse a path between two points in the network. This document defines two new flags in the IOAM Trace Option headers, specifically the Loopback and Active flags. Working Group Summary This document has been in progress for several years. There was significant discussion about amplification attacks, and during development the "direct export" mode was peeled off into a separate document. The main work of the WG on this document over the past year has been to work on the security considerations to put bounds on the use of the flags. The WG did come to consensus. Document Quality The document does have input and implementation support from many vendors. We received SECDIR and TSVART reviews, which were valuable. Personnel The Document Shepherd is Tommy Pauly. The Responsible AD is Martin Duke. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
