[mpls] Re: Poll: IOAM and PSD

[Michael Menth <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

we're not operators but researchers who implemented some IOAM flavors in 
combination with SR using P4 on Tofino. We've presented some results at 
an interim meeting before:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/interim-2024-mpls-01/session/mpls

IOAM requires mutable data. In combination with multiple labels, e.g., 
for SR, these mutable data need to be near the bottom of the stack, 
otherwise they get popped along the way. Moving them to PSD makes 
encoding more efficient without increasing the effective header length 
that needs  to be parsed. Therefore, we think PSD is the better option 
for applications like IOAM.

Regards

Michael
