Re: [ippm] Request for WG adoption

Dear all,

I have reviewed the draft and I support it to be adopted by IPPM. The
postcard mechanism and others, such as DEX, are quite different, both in
terms of requesting telemetry (flagging data traffic) and in terms of
providing it (incorporated in packets vs direct submission to the
collector). Therefore, this draft has good base to be evolved as a WG
draft.

Regards,
Pedro

One the one hand, the draft indeed provides some descriptions to summarize the high level ideas of the related proposals (under the on-path telemetry), but this is not the core of the draft but to help understand the field and it can be removed if considered improper in such a draft. On the other hand, the core of the draft is about the approach to use some flag to trigger the telemetry data collection. In this sense, it's an independent proposal along with IOAM, DEX, and HTS. I believe they are equally important and needed to complete the ecosystem for on-path telemetry.

> As another on-path telemetry technique, PBT based on packet marking complements the other works such as IOAM, DEX, and HTS to make the ecosystem complete, and I believe each can find its application scenarios. For example, the PBT based on packet marking has been applied in "draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam" (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdatatracker.ietf.org%2Fdoc%2Fhtml%2Fdraft-ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam&data=04%7C01%7Chaoyu.song%40futurewei.com%7C4cae751d53a845bc600a08d93cb15fdb%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C0%7C637607554783203623%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=VODdVGhSLsLDmfpWzFWIXltte8A7p2%2FA1okRktL3DMI%3D&reserved=0>) which I believe has passed the last call, but the detailed mechanisms such as configuration, data format, and export method are not covered there. Given the technique is equally applicable to other types of networks, we believe it's necessary to have a  document to formalized the method.

One was latter stripped off to form an independent draft, IOAM DEX, which has been adopted by IPPM. The remaining one, PBT based on packet marking, is the core of the current draft. Thanks for the numerous discussions and feedbacks from the WG, we now have a draft with focused direction and relatively mature content.
