Hi Greg, Ciao Giuseppe!

Thanks for sharing this document with SFC!

Looking at it, I have three main high-level comments:

  1.  Overall: While clearly I see the usability of this, I wonder if this is too narrow of a solution in presence of things like IOAM that allow to do marking as well as much richer set of performance measurements.
  2.  Syntax: The draft talks about two bits, but their location is not specified! That makes for an IANA Considerations section that is trivial. (or going back to #1, the two bits coulee have easily be placed in IOAM.
  3.  “can be viewed as true example of passive performance” -> The definition from RFC 7799 seems to potentially disagree with this.

Thanks!

Carlos.

Dear All,
would like to bring your attention to the draft  Performance Measurement (PM) with Alternate Marking Method in Service <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-sfc-pmamm-00>
Function Chaining (SFC) Domain<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mirsky-sfc-pmamm-00>
we've submitted earlier. Alternate Marking method allows performance measurement performed close to passive measurement methods.
Greatly appreciate your questions, comments, and suggestions.

Regards,
Greg
