Re: [OPSAWG] New I-D -> Guidelines for Charactering "OAM"

[[e-mail]]

Hi Carlos, Adrian, all,

Thank you for editing this document. This is really useful.

Alternate terms to consider for the path-congruent terms are path-coupled/path-decoupled OAM (inspired from RFC4080).

When editing RFC 9451, I wish I had terms for:

  *   "OAM packet that exclusively includes OAM data"
  *   "OAM packet that includes user data"

I don't think "in-packet OAM" conveys unambiguously the intent. I would suggest explicit terms such as: "User Data Embedded OAM" or "OAM-embedded User Data".

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med

Objet : [OPSAWG] New I-D -> Guidelines for Charactering "OAM"

Hi, Ops Area WG,

Every now and again, there are discussions on how to best characterize or qualify a particular kind of "OAM", as well as misunderstandings due to having different definitions and contexts for a given term. A case in point is "in-band" or "out-of-band" OAM, as recently surfaced at https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/opsawg/jREEH1sFOZ-uxZNky-RTggpxkuk/.

To alleviate this issue, Adrian and I wrote a short I-D to provide forward-looking guidance on "foobar OAM".

We would appreciate feedback and input on this position, which aims at updating the guidelines for the "OAM" acronym, with unambiguous guidelines for their modifiers.

Guidelines for Charactering "OAM":
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pignataro-opsawg-oam-whaaat-question-mark/

Look forward to input and comments to make this more clear and effective!

Adrian & Carlos.
