A Connectivity Monitoring Metric for IPPM
draft-geib-ippm-connectivity-monitoring-02
Abstract
Within a Segment Routing domain, segment routed measurement packets
can be sent along pre-determined paths. This enables new kinds of
measurements. Connectivity monitoring allows to supervise the state
and performance of a connection or a (sub)path from one or a few
central monitoring systems. This document specifies a suitable
type-P connectivity monitoring metric.

1. Introduction
Within a Segment Routing domain, Segment Routing enables sending
measurement packets along pre-determined segment routed paths
[RFC8402]. A segment routed path may consist of pre-determined sub
paths down to specific router-interfaces. It may also consist of sub
paths spanning multiple routers, given that all segments to address a
desired path are available and known at the SR domain edge interface.
A Path Monitoring System or PMS (see [RFC8403]) is a dedicated
central Segment Routing domain monitoring device (as compared to a
distributed monitoring approach based on router-data and -functions
only). Monitoring individual sub-paths or point-to-point connections
is executed for different purposes. IGP exchanges hello messages
between neighbors to keep alive routing and switfly adapt routing to
topology changes. Network Operators may be interested in monitoring
connectivity and congestion of interfaces or sub-paths at a timescale
of seconds, minutes or hours. In both cases, the periodicity is
