Re: [ippm] IPPM slides for IOAM data fields and IOAM flags updates

Hi Frank,

Thanks. I think we are now aligned on the new option now.

With regard to the place, I think we can just evolve the existing PBT draft.

Cheers,
Tianran

Hi Tianran,

IMHO this sounds like a workable path forward, i.e. we’d consolidate things into a new IOAM option for Immediate-Export/PBT, avoid the “I-Flag” and describe actions (e.g. log/forward-a-copy/count/..) per the earlier discussion. We can discuss this in the IPPM WG meeting as part of the IOAM update slot.

Where would we best specify this new option? We could either write a new dedicated document for this new IOAM option (borrowing pieces from draft-song-ippm-postcard-based-telemetry-04), or fold it into the existing IOAM data fields draft. Does the WG have a preference?

Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank,

I think according to the side meeting in Prague, most of us believed an independent postcard option is better than the using of immediate export flag.
And draft-song-ippm-postcard-based-telemetry-04 has closed the discussion on flow id and sequence number by setting them optional.

Here are some of my thoughts:
- IOAM already has incremental tracing option and pre-allocated tracing option based on the way to operate metadata. Both have clear Semantics on operating metadata. It reasonable to use another option for PBT.
- Hardware is easy to realize the next step process by parsing the option type, without further flag matching.
- A new option will enable the extensibility for PBT related data fields. E.g., actions as proposed in the mailing list

What's your thoughts?

Thanks,
Tianran

Hi IOAM enthusiasts,

I’ve started to craft slides for the IOAM update in the IPPM WG meeting on Wednesday. Here is what I’ve assembled for covering draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-data-06 and draft-mizrahi-ippm-ioam-flags-00: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1nSbwvwWlexQ9Ns5VbtWavY9BQMpKT1RgjvCPGpwQFAw/

Appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Thanks, Frank
