Re: [ippm] New Version Notification for draft-ahuang-ippm-dex-timestamp-ext-00.txt

[Alex Huang Feng <[e-mail]>]

Hi Haoyu,

Thanks for your feedback.
I actually agree with your statement but the only reason I did it using 2 bits is because in IOAM DEX (RFC9326) section 3.2, there is a statement saying each Optional field is 4 octets long:

Optional fields:
The optional fields, if present, reside after the Reserved field. The order of the optional fields is according to the order of the respective bits, starting from the most significant bit, that are enabled in the Extension-Flags field. Each optional field is 4 octets long.

There is no MUST in the section, so I did not know how to interpret this. Maybe you have more insights on this.

Cheers,
Alex

However, I don't think it would be useful for delay measurement if only the seconds appears. So maybe it's more reasonable to consider them both as just one timestamp field and save a flag bit.
