Subject: Re: [Int-area] ICMP Query and ICMP Query for IOAM
Hi Xiao,
Two questions regarding draft-xbm-intarea-icmp-query-00:
- Is there a reason not to use ICMP Extended Echo Request/Reply with
newly defined object types? It would appear you would get the same
result without allocating new ICMP types.
[XM]>>> Yes, we considered to reuse the ICMP types for Extended Echo, however
it's abandoned mainly because the Extended Echo (as defined in
draft-ietf-intarea-rfc8335bis) requires to include an optional data section at
the end and it requires the echoed object has the same length with the received
one.
- It would be very useful to include the use case in the draft, and
specifically to explain whether this draft is intended to use the
capabilities defined in RFC 9359.
[XM]>>> The current use case is to query the IOAM capabilities defined in RFC
9359, which has been specified in the updated
draft-ietf-6man-icmpv6-ioam-conf-state. The intention is to make the ICMP Query
generic enough and suitable for future extensions.
Thanks,
Xiao Min
Cheers,
Tal.
