Abstract:

   In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM), defined
   in RFC 9197, is an on-path telemetry method to collect and record the
   operational state and telemetry information using, for example, Pre-
   allocated, Proof-of-Transit, Edge-to-Edge, or Incremental IOAM
   Options that can be used to calculate various performance metrics.
   RFC 9326 defines the IOAM Direct Export (IOAM-DEX) Option in which
   the operational state and telemetry information are collected
   according to the specified profile and exported in a manner and
   format defined by a local policy on each node along the path.

   MPLS Network Actions (MNA) techniques are meant to indicate actions
   to be performed on any combination of Label Switched Paths, MPLS
   packets, and the node itself, and to transfer data needed for these
   actions.  This document explores the MNA mechanisms to collect and
   transport the on-path operational state, and telemetry information
   using IOAM data fields, including the IOAM-DEX Option.
