1. Introduction

Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm for Software Defined Networks (SDNs). SR is applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) forwarding planes [RFC8402]. SR Policies as defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] are used to steer traffic through a specific, user-defined paths using a stack of Segments. A comprehensive SR Performance Measurement (PM) toolset is one of the essential requirements to measure network performance to provide Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

The Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) provides capabilities for the measurement of various performance metrics in IP networks [RFC8762] without the use of a control channel to pre-signal session parameters. [RFC8972] defines optional extensions, in the form of TLVs, for STAMP. Note that the YANG data model defined in [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-yang] can be used to provision the STAMP Session-Sender and STAMP Session-Reflector.

The STAMP test packets are transmitted along an IP path between a Session-Sender and a Session-Reflector to measure performance delay and packet loss along that IP path. It may be desired in SR networks that the same path (same set of links and nodes) between the Session-Sender and Session-Reflector is used for the STAMP test packets in both directions. This is achieved by using the STAMP [RFC8762] extensions for SR-MPLS and SRv6 networks specified in this document by augmenting the optional extensions defined in [RFC8972].

2.3. Reference Topology

In the reference topology shown below, the STAMP Session-Sender S1 initiates a STAMP test packet and the STAMP Session-Reflector R1 transmits a reply STAMP test packet. The reply test packet may be transmitted to the Session-Sender S1 on the same path (same set of links and nodes) or a different path in the reverse direction from the path taken towards the Session-Reflector R1.

The nodes S1 and R1 may be connected via a link or an SR path [RFC8402]. The link may be a physical interface, virtual link, or Link Aggregation Group (LAG) [IEEE802.1AX], or LAG member link. The SR path may be an SR Policy [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] on node S1 (called head-end) with destination to node R1 (called tail-end).

                       Reference Topology

3. Destination Node Address TLV

The Session-Sender may need to transmit test packets to the Session-Reflector with a different destination address not matching an address on the Session-Reflector e.g. when the STAMP test packet is encapsulated by a tunneling protocol or an MPLS Segment List with IPv4 address from 127/8 range or Segment Routing Header (SRH) with IPv6 address ::1/128. For testing ECMPs, the Session-Sender may select different IPv4 addresses from 127/8 range or select different Flow Label values for IPv6. When using IPv4 destination address from 127/8 range, the STAMP test packet may not reach the intended Session-Reflector in an error condition, an un-intended node may transmit reply test packets resulting in reporting of invalid measurement metrics.

[RFC8972] defines STAMP test packets that can include one or more optional TLVs. In this document, Destination Node Address TLV (Type TBA1) is defined for STAMP test packet [RFC8972] and has the following format shown in Figure 1:

 0                   1                   2                   3
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

 .                           Address                             .
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: Destination Node Address TLV Format

The Length field is used to decide the Address Family of the Address.

The STAMP TLV Flags are set using the procedures described in [RFC8972].

The Destination Node Address TLV is optional. The Destination Node Address TLV indicates the address of the intended Session-Reflector node of the test packet. When Session-Sender test packet destination address is different than the actual Session-Reflector address, the actual Session-Reflector address SHOULD be transmitted to the Session-Reflector by including a Destination Node Address TLV.

D (Wrong Destination Flag): A one-bit flag at position TBA3.

D (Wrong Destination with Reply Required): A Session-Sender MUST set the D flag to 0 before transmitting an extended STAMP test packet when test packet reply is required. A Session-Reflector that supports this TLV, MUST set the D flag to 1 if the Session-Reflector determined that it is not the intended Destination as identified in the Destination Node Address TLV. Otherwise, the Session-Reflector MUST set the D flag in the reply test packet to 0.

D (Wrong Destination with No Reply Required): A Session-Sender MUST set the D flag to 1 before transmitting an extended STAMP test packet when test packet reply is not required. A Session-Reflector that supports this TLV, MUST NOT reply and MUST drop the packet if the Session-Reflector determined that it is not the intended Destination as identified in the Destination Node Address TLV.

4. Return Path TLV

For end-to-end SR paths, the Session-Reflector may need to transmit the reply test packet on a specific return path. The Session-Sender can request this in the test packet to the Session-Reflector using a Return Path TLV. With this TLV carried in the Session-Sender test packet, signaling and maintaining dynamic SR network state for the STAMP sessions on the Session-Reflector are avoided.

For links, the Session-Reflector may need to transmit the reply test packet on the same incoming link in the reverse direction. The Session-Sender can request this in the test packet to the Session-Reflector using a Return Path TLV.

[RFC8972] defines STAMP test packets that can include one or more optional TLVs. In this document, the TLV Type (value TBA2) is defined for the Return Path TLV that carries the return path for the Session-Sender test packet. The format of the Return Path TLV is shown in Figure 2:

 0                   1                   2                   3
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

 .                                                               .
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 2: Return Path TLV

The STAMP TLV Flags are set using the procedures described in [RFC8972].

The Return Path TLV is optional. The Session-Sender MUST only insert one Return Path TLV in the STAMP test packet. The Session-Reflector that supports this TLV, MUST only process the first Return Path TLV in the test packet and ignore other Return Path TLVs if present, and it MUST NOT add Return Path TLV in the reply test packet. The Session-Reflector that supports this TLV MUST reply using the Return Path received in the Session-Sender test packet. Otherwise, the procedure defined in [RFC8762] is followed by the Session-Reflector.

4.1. Return Path Sub-TLVs

The Return Path TLV contains one or more Sub-TLVs to carry the information for the requested return path. A Return Path Sub-TLV can carry Return Path Control Code, Return Path IP Address or Return Path Segment List.

The STAMP Sub-TLV Flags are set using the procedures described in [RFC8972].

When Return Path Sub-TLV is present in the Session-Sender test packet, the Session-Reflector that supports this TLV, MUST transmit reply test packet using the return path information specified in the Return Path Sub-TLV.

A Return Path TLV MUST NOT contain both Control Code Sub-TLV as well as Return Address or Return Segment List Sub-TLV.

4.1.1. Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV

The format of the Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV is shown in Figure 3. The Type of the Return Path Control Code Sub-TLV is defined as following:

  • Type (value 1): Return Path Control Code. The Session-Sender can request the Session-Reflector to transmit the reply test packet based on the flags defined in the Control Code field.
 0                   1                   2                   3
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |STAMP TLV Flags|   Type=1      |         Length                |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |                   Control Code                                |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 3: Control Code Sub-TLV in Return Path TLV

Control Code Flags (32-bit): Defined as follows.

0x0: No Reply Requested.
0x1: Reply Requested on the Same Link.

When Control Code flag is set to 0x0 in the Session-Sender test packet, the Session-Reflector does not transmit reply test packet to the Session-Sender and terminates the STAMP test packet. Only the one-way measurement is applicable in this case. Optionally, the Session-Reflector may locally stream performance metrics via telemetry using the information from the received test packet. All other Return Path Sub-TLVs MUST be ignored in this case.

When Control Code flag is set to 0x1 in the Session-Sender test packet, the Session-Reflector transmits the reply test packet over the same incoming link where the test packet is received in the reverse direction towards the Session-Sender. All other Return Path Sub-TLVs MUST be ignored in this case.

4.1.2. Return Address Sub-TLV

The STAMP reply test packet may be transmitted to the Session-Sender to a different destination address on the Session-Sender using Return Path TLV. For this, the Session-Sender can specify in the test packet the receiving destination node address for the Session-Reflector reply test packet. When transmitting the STAMP test packet to a different destination address, the Session-Sender MUST follow the procedure defined in Section 4.3 of [RFC8762].

The format of the Return Address Sub-TLV is shown in Figure 4. The Address Family field indicates the type of the address, and it SHALL be set to one of the assigned values in the "IANA Address Family Numbers" registry. The Type of the Return Address Sub-TLV is defined as following:

  • Type (value 2): Return Address. Destination node address of the Session-Reflector reply test packet different than the Source Address in the Session-Sender test packet.
 0                   1                   2                   3

4.1.3. Return Segment List Sub-TLVs

The format of the Segment List Sub-TLVs in the Return Path TLV is shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7. The segment entries MUST be in network order. The Segment List Sub-TLV can be one of the following Types:

  • Type (value 3): SR-MPLS Label Stack of the Return Path
  • Type (value 4): SRv6 Segment List of the Return Path
  • Type (value 5): Structured SRv6 Segment List of the Return Path

Figure 7: Structured SRv6 Segment List Sub-TLV in Return Path TLV

An SR-MPLS Label Stack Sub-TLV may carry only Binding SID [I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] of the Return SR-MPLS Policy.

An SRv6 Segment List Sub-TLV and Structured SRv6 Segment List Sub-TLV may carry only Binding SID [I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] of the Return SRv6 Policy.

A Structured SRv6 Segment List Sub-TLV is used carry the structure and behavior for SRv6 SIDs [RFC8986] used in the Return SRv6 path as shown in Figure 7. The structure is intended for informational use by the control and management planes. The fields in the structure of the Sub-TLV are defined as follows [RFC8986]:

  • LB Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Locator Block (LB) length in bits.
  • LN Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Locator Node (LN) length in bits.
  • Fun. Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Function length in bits.
  • Arg. Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Arguments length in bits.

In Structured SRv6 Segment List Sub-TLV, the sum of all four sizes MUST be less than or equal to 128 bits. If the sum of all four sizes is larger than 128 bits, the Sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the Session-Reflector.

The Session-Sender MUST only insert one Segment List Return Path Sub-TLV in the test packet. The Session-Reflector MUST only process the first Segment List Return Path Sub-TLV in the test packet and ignore other Segment List Return Path Sub-TLVs if present.

Note that in addition to P2P SR paths, the Return Segment List Sub-TLV is also applicable to P2MP SR paths. For example, for P2MP SR paths, it may only carry the Node Segment Identifier of the Session-Sender in order for the reply test packet to follow an SR path to the Session-Sender.

5. Security Considerations

The usage of STAMP protocol is intended for deployment in limited domains [RFC8799]. As such, it assumes that a node involved in STAMP protocol operation has previously verified the integrity of the path and the identity of the far-end Session-Reflector.

If desired, attacks can be mitigated by performing basic validation and sanity checks, at the Session-Sender, of the timestamp fields in received reply test packets. The minimal state associated with these protocols also limits the extent of measurement disruption that can be caused by a corrupt or invalid test packet to a single test cycle.

The security considerations specified in [RFC8762] and [RFC8972] also apply to the extensions defined in this document. Specifically, the message integrity protection using HMAC, as defined in [RFC8762] Section 4.4, also apply to the procedure described in this document.

STAMP uses the well-known UDP port number that could become a target of denial of service (DoS) or could be used to aid man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Thus, the security considerations and measures to mitigate the risk of the attack documented in Section 6 of [RFC8545] equally apply to the STAMP extensions in this document.

The STAMP extensions defined in this document may be used for potential "proxying" attacks. For example, a Session-Sender may specify a return path that has a destination different from that of the Session-Sender. But normally, such attacks will not happen in an SR domain where the Session-Senders and Session-Reflectors belong to the same domain. In order to prevent using the extension defined in this document for proxying any possible attacks, the return path has destination to the same node where the forward path is from. The Session-Reflector may drop the Session-Sender test packet when it cannot determine whether the Return Path has the destination to the Session-Sender. That means, the Session-Sender should choose a proper source address according to the specified Return Path to help the Session-Reflector to make that decision.

6. IANA Considerations

IANA has created the "STAMP TLV Types" registry for [RFC8972]. IANA is requested to allocate a value for the Destination Address TLV Type and a value for the Return Path TLV Type from the IETF Review TLV range of the same registry.

Table 1: STAMP TLV Types
Value Description Reference
TBA1 Destination Node Address TLV This document
TBA2 Return Path TLV This document

IANA is requested to create a sub-registry for "Return Path Sub-TLV Type". All code points in the range 1 through 175 in this registry shall be allocated according to the "IETF Review" procedure as specified in [RFC8126]. Code points in the range 176 through 239 in this registry shall be allocated according to the "First Come First Served" procedure as specified in [RFC8126]. Remaining code points are allocated according to Table 2:

Table 2: Return Path Sub-TLV Type Registry
Value Description Reference
1 - 175 IETF Review This document
176 - 239 First Come First Served This document
240 - 251 Experimental Use This document
252 - 254 Private Use This document

IANA is requested to allocate the values for the following Sub-TLV Types from this registry.

Table 3: Return Path Sub-TLV Types
Type Description Reference
0 Reserved This document
1 Return Path Control Code This document
2 Return Address This document
3 SR-MPLS Label Stack of the Return Path This document
4 SRv6 Segment List of the Return Path This document
5 Structured SRv6 Segment List of the Return Path This document
255 Reserved This document

IANA has created the "STAMP TLV Flags" subregistry. IANA is requested to allocate the following bit position in the "STAMP TLV Flags" subregistry.
