The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IPv6 Application of the Alternate Marking Method' (draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-alt-mark-17.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IPv6 Maintenance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-alt-mark/ Technical Summary This document describes how the Alternate Marking Method can be used as a passive performance measurement tool in an IPv6 domain. It defines a new Extension Header Option to encode Alternate Marking information in both the Hop-by-Hop Options Header and Destination Options Header. Working Group Summary This has had discussion on the ipv6@ list and detailed comments were received from several people. General support for advancing this document. Document Quality There is at least one commercial implementation of alternate marking for MPLS and SRv6. An implementation of this draft (alternative marking for HbH and DestOpt options) as a proof of concept is in progress. This implementation is using an experimental code point. Personnel Document Shepherd: Ole Troan Responsible Area Director: Erik Kline IANA Note IANA is requested to allocate a code point from the IPv6 "Destination Options and Hop-by-Hop Options" registry (section 7). _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
