[auth48] [IANA #1448936] IANA actions for RFC-to-be 9951 (draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23)

[Amanda Baber via RT <[e-mail]>]

Dear Authors,

Can you check that these actions have been completed correctly? I also have a question about each of them.

ACTION 1:

The following entries have been added to the IPFIX Information Elements registry:

ElementID: 530
Name: pathDelayMeanDeltaMicroseconds
Abstract Data Type: unsigned32
Data Type Semantics: deltaCounter
Status: current	
Description: This Information Element identifies the mean path delay of all packets in the Flow, in microseconds, between an OAM header encapsulating node and the local node with the OAM domain (either an OAM header transit node or an OAM header decapsulating node), according to OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Mean in the IANA [Performance Metric] Registry.
Additional Information: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Mean in the IANA [Performance Metric] registry.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Revision: 0
Date: 2026-04-02

ElementID: 531
Name: pathDelayMinDeltaMicroseconds
Abstract Data Type: unsigned32
Data Type Semantics: deltaCounter
Status: current	
Description: This Information Element identifies the lowest path delay of all packets in the Flow, in microseconds, between an OAM header encapsulating node and the local node with the OAM domain (either an OAM header transit node or an OAM header decapsulating node), according to the OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Min in the IANA [Performance Metric] Registry.
Additional Information: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Min in the IANA [Performance Metric] registry.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Revision: 0
Date: 2026-04-02

ElementID: 532
Name: pathDelayMaxDeltaMicroseconds
Abstract Data Type: unsigned32
Data Type Semantics: deltaCounter
Status: current	
Description: This Information Element identifies the highest path delay of all packets in the Flow, in microseconds, between an OAM header encapsulating node and the local node with the OAM domain (either an OAM header transit node or an OAM header decapsulating node), according to OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Max in the IANA [Performance Metric] Registry.
Additional Information: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Max in the IANA [Performance Metric] registry.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Revision: 0
Date: 2026-04-02

ElementID: 533
Name: pathDelaySumDeltaMicroseconds
Abstract Data Type: unsigned64
Data Type Semantics: deltaCounter
Status: current	
Description: This Information Element identifies the sum of the path delay of all packets in the Flow, in microseconds, between an OAM header encapsulating node and the local node with the OAM domain (either an OAM header transit node or an OAM header decapsulating node), according to OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Sum in the IANA [Performance Metric] Registry.
Additional Information: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Sum in the IANA [Performance Metric] registry.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Revision: 0
Date: 2026-04-02

Note: we'll update the references to point to RFC 9511 once the final link is available.

QUESTION: 

Should we provide links to the individual performance metric registration templates as well as the registry?

ACTION 2:

The following entries have been added to the Performance Metrics registry:

Identifier: 27
Name: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Mean
URI: https://www.iana.org/assignments/performance-metrics/OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Mean
Description: This metric assesses the mean of one-way delays of all successfully forwarded IP packets constituting a single Flow. The measurement of one-sway delay is based on a single Observation Point [RFC7011] somewhere in the network.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Change Controller: IETF
Version: 1.0

Identifier: 28
Name: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Min	
URI: https://www.iana.org/assignments/performance-metrics/OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Min
Description: This metric assesses the minimum of one-way delays of all successfully forwarded IP packets constituting a single Flow. The measurement of one-way delay is based on a single Observation Point [RFC7011] somewhere in the network.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Change Controller: IETF
Version: 1.0

Identifier: 29
Name: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Max
URI: https://www.iana.org/assignments/performance-metrics/OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Max
Description: This metric assesses the maximum of one-way delays of all successfully forwarded IP packets constituting a single Flow. The measurement of one-way delay is based on a single Observation Point [RFC7011] somewhere in the network.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]
Change Controller: IETF
Version: 1.0

Identifier: 30
Name: OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Sum
URI: https://www.iana.org/assignments/performance-metrics/OWDelay_HybridType1_IP_RFC9951_Seconds_Sum
Description: This metric assesses the maximum of one-way delays of all successfully forwarded IP packets constituting a single Flow. The measurement of one-way delay is based on a single Observation Point [RFC7011] somewhere in the network.
Reference: [RFC-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-on-path-telemetry-23]

QUESTION: 

For each registration template, I've removed the IDs, Names, URIs, and Descriptions associated with the other three registrations. I haven't done this for the "Reference Definition" field, though, because I'm not sure whether the three lines that precede Section 4.4.2.1 would need to be left in place, edited, or removed. What do you want us to do with this text?

==

For all output types:

OWDelay_HybridType1_IP:  The one-way delay of one IP packet is a
   Singleton.

For each <statistic> Singleton, one of the following subsections
applies.

thanks,
Amanda
