Again using Geneve over IPv6 as an example: * If you're interested in the overlay, i.e. Geneve (e.g. timestamping the packet when it enters and exists the tunnel) - you'd add IOAM data to Geneve * If you're interested in the underlay, i.e. IPv6 (e.g. you'd like to understand which path packets take in the v6 network) - you'd add IOAM data to IPv6 * If you're interested in both, then you'd add IOAM data to Geneve and IPv6 Frank, In that case why not just use a hop-by-hop option for measuring the underlay and a destination option for measuring the overlay? The advantage is that this works _any_ IP encapsulation method or any IP protocol for that matter. Because you want to instrument the layer that you want to measure. Because there’s cases with more unnatural layering where there’s a desire to correlate and compare measurements across layers (in a way in which, for example, the Service layer is tested in a service chaining scenario, not the IPv6 hop-by-hop. Because different topologies expose different Hops and IPv6 HBH goes by the IPv6 node topology. Because not everything is IPv6, and because you have cases of IPv6 over something as well. Those are quick ones that come to mind. I don't believe adding ippm to every encapsulation protocol is straightforward: e.g. draft-brockners-ippm-ioam-geneve describe but notes the limited size of header, draft-weis-ippm-ioam-gre states that a new EtherType would be needed just for this purpose. This also entails additional encapsulation-specific HW support also, whereas support destination and hbh options could be more generic. Engineering is about trade-offs. If you want to measure Geneve, there are limitations. But instead of trying to prove why it does not work, I’ll point to working demos of where it does — many of which on different HW/SW and encaps, shown at various IETF events. Thanks, — Carlos Pignataro Tom Draft draft-ietf-ippm-ioam-data-02 already mentions layering (see section 3): "Layering: If several encapsulation protocols (e.g., in case of tunneling) are stacked on top of each other, IOAM data-records could be present at every layer. The behavior follows the ships-in-the-night model." Given the discussion here, we'll add some additional text in the next revision to make things crisper (e.g. adding an example might help).

It is straight forward for the underlay to record by the header. But what about the overlay, i.e., inner encapsulation(e.g. geneve)? Without special configuration, intermediate node will not read the inner header, hence not be able to process IOAM.e Hi Tianran, I believe that is also not protocol conformant. Intermediate nodes should not be processing transport layer data as this can lead to misinterpretation and possibly silent data corruption. For instance, Geneve is a UDP encapsulation protocol with assigned port 6081. In order for an intermediate device to process the Geneve encapsulation header it would need to look for packets with destination port of 6081 since that is the only possible discriminator. However, transport port numbers do not have global meaning and hosts may use port numbers for other purposes (RFC7605 describes this). So a packet to port 6081 might be something other than Geneve and may be misinterpreted. If a misinterpreted packet is changed (like ippm data is written) then that would be systematic silent data corruption. As far as I know, hop-by-hop options is the only protocol confirming mechanism that allows an intermediate note to change data of packet in flight. Encpasulation is the only conforming mechanism that allows an intermediate node to add data (like extension headers) to a packet in flight. Tom Maybe we are not synced by this overlay/underlay use case. :-) Tianran ________________________________ Sent from WeLink 发件人: Shwetha Bhandari (shwethab) 收件人: Tianran Zhou<zhoutianran@huawei.com<mailto:zhoutianran@huawei.com>>;Frank Brockners (fbrockne)<fbrockne@cisco.com<mailto:fbrockne@cisco.com>>;Mickey Spiegel<mspiegel@barefootnetworks.com<mailto:mspiegel@barefootnetworks.com>>;Tom Herbert<tom@herbertland.com<mailto:tom@herbertland.com>> 抄送: NVO3<nvo3@ietf.org<mailto:nvo3@ietf.org>>;int-area<int-area@ietf.org<mailto:int-area@ietf.org>>;Service Function Chaining IETF list<sfc@ietf.org<mailto:sfc@ietf.org>>;IETF IPPM WG<ippm@ietf.org<mailto:ippm@ietf.org>> 主题: Re: [ippm] [Int-area] encapsulation of IOAM data in various protocols - follow up from WG discussion in London 时间: 2018-04-16 18:17:01 Hi Tianran, If I recall right, it is not written in the ioam data draft. Data draft is defining the data to be carried in IOAM in an encapsulation agnostic way, it does not specify how the encapsulation protocol is configured. Yes, node by node configuration is an easy way. While it is, it does not have to be a node by node configuration. It can be part of the encapsulation definition. For e.g. If the encapsulation is IPv6 and if we define the data to be carried as HbH options, then based on the Option Type with highest order 2 bits set to 00 then the v6 nodes that implement IOAM will process the option and others will skip over.

Using your example of Geneve over IPv6 – with IOAM data in both the Geneve and the IPv6 protocol, one would expect that the operator configures the endpoints of the Geneve tunnel to operate on the IOAM data in Geneve, and the IPv6 routers that the Geneve tunnel traverses to operate on the IOAM data in IPv6.

In draft-brockners-ippm-ioam-geneve-00 for instance, there is the text in the introduction: "In-situ OAM (IOAM) records OAM information within the packet while the packet traverses a particular network domain. The term "in-situ" refers to the fact that the IOAM data fields are added to the data packets rather than is being sent within packets specifically dedicated to OAM. This document defines how IOAM data fields are transported as part of the Geneve [I-D.ietf-nvo3-geneve] encapsulation." I assume this means that as packets with Geneve encapsulation traverse the network they are interpreted by intermediate nodes as being Geneve. Since Geneve is a UDP encapsulation, then the destination UDP port number would be used to identify packets as being Geneve. So an intermediate device might be looking for UDP packets destined to port 6081 (the assigned UDP port for Geneve). If my understanding is correct, then this is a problem. UDP port numbers do not have global meaning. An intermediate device may very well see UDP packets destined to port 6081 that are not actually Geneve. This scenario is discussed in RFC7605: "...intermediate device interprets traffic based on the port number. It is important to recognize that any interpretation of port numbers -- except at the endpoints -- may be incorrect, because port numbers are meaningful only at the endpoints." If the UDP data is modified, as the draft would imply, then misinterpretation may also mean silent data corruption of packets. A protocol that would allow this seems pretty incorrect! Note that this would be true also for any UDP encapsulation that the network tries to interpret. The intention is to allow for multiple nodes that a packet traverses to be able to insert IOAM node information in the same trace option, but leave some flexibility regarding which nodes actually do the IOAM processing and the node information. This may vary depending on the transport. In case of a tunneled encapsulation such as Geneve or VXLAN, there may still be multiple hops. For example a network may use Geneve or VXLAN, but only do L2 processing at ToRs, with L3 processing done at aggregation or core switches. In this case many packets would do 2 Geneve or VXLAN hops, so the packet would contain IOAM node information from two nodes. Another example is service function chaining using Geneve or VXLAN rather than NSH. I am also wondering if hop-by-hop options been considered for this application? Their interpretation in the network is unabiguous and they also have the advantage that the work with any IP protocol or encapsulation. IPv6 hop-by-hop options has been considered. See draft-brockners-inband-oam-transport-05. This has not yet been broken out into a separate draft.

One discussion topic that we decided to take to the list was the question on whether draft-ooamdt-rtgwg-ooam-header could be leveraged.. After carefully considering draft-ooamdt-rtgwg-ooam-header, I came to the conclusion that the “OOAM header” does not meet the needs of IOAM: * Efficiency: IOAM adds data to live user traffic. As such, an encapsulation needs to be as efficient as possible. The “OOAM header” is 8 bytes long. The approach for IOAM data encapsulation in the above mentioned drafts only requires 4 bytes. Using the OOAM header approach would add an unnecessary overhead of 4 bytes – which is significant. Greg, I'm missing something here. I looked at the drafts you referenced and each of them looks like the overhead for OAM is greater that four bytes. In each there is some overhead equivalent to type/length, for instance in Geneve four bytes are needed for option class, type, and length. Unless the the OAM data is zero length, I don't see how this adds up to only four bytes of overhead. The four versus eight bytes just refers to the fields in the four bytes of IOAM info, that is common to all IOAM options. Beyond that, there are IOAM option specific fields. For example if doing one of the IOAM trace options, there are four bytes of trace option header, including the IOAM-trace-type, NodeLen, Flags, and RemainingLen fields. These are followed by the node data list containing the per hop IOAM information. In looking at the OOAM header content, it has nothing to do with any of the IOAM information after the first four bytes. It contains another variant of the information in the first four bytes of IOAM info, spread out over eight bytes. Tom GIM>> The difference in four octets is because OOAM Header: provides more flexibility, e.g. Flags field and Reserved fields; The flags field only has one defined flag at the moment, for a timestamp block. For IOAM trace we need per hop timestamps, which the timestamp block cannot address, i.e. the timestamp block is redundant for IOAM. supports larger OAM packets than iOAM header; For IOAM purposes, 1020 octets is more than enough. is future proof by supporting versioning (Version field). IMO, taking the first two bits of the IOAM-Type to define a Version field would be a good thing. This does not require adding four more bytes of overhead. 64 IOAM-Types is more than enough. * Maturity: IOAM has several implementations, which were also shown at recent IETF hackathons – and we’re expecting additional implementations to be publicized soon. Interoperable implementations need timely specifications. Despite the question being asked, the recent thread on OOAM in the NVO3 list hasn’t revealed any implementation of the OOAM header. In addition, the thread revealed that several fundamental questions about the OOAM header are still open, such as whether or how active OAM mechanisms within protocols such as Geneve would apply to the OOAM header. This ultimately means that we won’t get to a timely specification. GIM>> May I ask which encapsulations supported by the GIM>> implementations you refer to. Until very recently all iOAM proposals were to use meta-data TLV in, e.g. Geneve and NSH. And if these or some of these implementations already updated to the newly proposed iOAM shim, I don't see problem in making them use OOAM Header. Would you agree? * Scope: It isn’t entirely clear to which protocols the OOAM header would ultimately apply to. The way the OOAM header is defined, OOAM uses a 8-bit field for “Next Prot”, the next protocol. Some protocols that IOAM data needs to be encapsulated into use 16-bits for their next protocol code points. See e.g. the GRE encapsulation – as specified in draft-weis-ippm-ioam-gre-00. GIM>> The first paragraph of the Introduction section states: New protocols that support overlay networks like VxLAN-GPE [I-D.ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe], GUE [I-D.ietf-nvo3-gue], Geneve [I-D.ietf-nvo3-geneve], BIER [I-D.ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation], and NSH [I-D.ietf-sfc-nsh] support multi-protocol payload, e.g. Ethernet, IPv4/IPv6, and recognize Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) as one of distinct types. That ensures that Overlay OAM (OOAM)packets are sharing fate with Overlay data packet traversing the underlay. I'm updating the OOAM Header draft and along with cleaning nits will update reference to GUE. I think that the list and the statemnt are quite clear in identifying the scope of networks that may benefit from using not only common OOAM Header but common OOAM mechanisms, e.g. Echo Request/Reply. With the above in mind, I’d suggest that the WG moves forward with specific definitions for encapsulating IOAM data into protocols – per the above mentioned drafts.
