                     Performance Measurement on LAG
                       draft-li-ippm-pm-on-lag-01

Abstract

   This document defines extensions to One-way Active Measurement
   Protocol (OWAMP), Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP), and
   Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) to implement
   performance measurement on every member link of a Link Aggregation
   Group (LAG).  With the measured metrics of each member links of a
   LAG, it enables operators to enforce performance metric based traffic
   steering policy among the member links.

1.  Problem Statement

   Link Aggregation Group (LAG), as defined in [IEEE802.1AX], provides
   mechanisms to combine multiple physical links into a single logical
   link.  This logical link provides higher bandwidth and better
   resiliency, because if one of the physical member links fails, the

Li, et al.              Expires January 14, 2021                [Page 2]
Internet-Draft                  PM on LAG                      July 2020

   aggregate logical link can continue to forward traffic over the
   remaining operational physical member links.

   Normally, when forwarding traffic over a LAG, a hash based or the
   like mechanism is used to load balance the traffic among member links
   of the LAG.  In some cases, the link delays of the member links are
   different because the member links are over different transport
   paths.  To provide low delay service to time sensitive traffic, we
   have to know the link delay of each member link of a LAG and then
   steer traffic accordingly.  This requires a solution that could
   measure the performance metrics of each member link of a LAG.

   However, when using One-way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP)
   [RFC4656], Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357], or
   Simple Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) [RFC8762] to
   measure the performance of a LAG, the LAG is treated as a single
   logical link/path.  The measured metrics reflect the performance of
   one member link or an average of some/all member links of the LAG.

   This document defines extensions to OWAMP [RFC4656], TWAMP [RFC5357]
   or STAMP [RFC8762] to implement performance measurement on every
   member link of a LAG.

2.  Micro Session on LAG

   To measure performance metrics of every member link of a LAG,
   multiple sessions (one session for each member link) need to be
   established between the two hosts that are connected by the LAG.
   These sessions are called micro sessions in the remainder of this
   document.

   From the OWAMP/TWAMP-Control point of view, micro sessions of a LAG
   share the same Sender Address, Receiver Address, have different
   Session Identifiers (SID).  As for the Sender Port and Receiver Port,
   micro sessions may share the same Sender Port and Receiver Port pair,
   or each micro session is configured with different Sender Port and
   Receiver Port pair.  But from simplifying operation point of view,
   the former is recommended.

   In addition, with micro sessions, there needs a way to correlate a
   session with a member link.  For example, when receives a Control or
   Test packet, the Server/Reflector/Receiver needs to know from which
   member link the packet is received, and then correlate the packet
   with a micro session.  This is different from the existing OWAMP
   [RFC4656], TWAMP [RFC5357], or STAMP [RFC8762].

   This document defines new command types to indicate that a session is
   a micro session, the details are described in Section 3 and 4 of this

   document.  For a micro session, on receiving of a Control/Test
   packet, the receiver uses the receiving link to correlate the packet
   with a particular session.  In the case of two-way measurement, Test
   packets may need to carry the member link related information for
   valid checking.  For example, when a Sender receives a reflected Test
   packet, it may needs to check whether the Test packet is from the
   expected member link.

3.  Mirco OWAMP Session

   This document assumes that the OWAMP Server and the OWAMP Receiver of
   an OWAMP micro session are at the same host.

3.1.  Micro OWAMP-Control

   To support micro OWAMP session, a new command, which is referred to
   as Request-OW-Micro-Session (TBD1), is defined in this document.  The
   Request-OW-Micro-Session command is based on the OWAMP Request-
   Session command, and uses the message format as described in
   Section 3.5 of OWAMP [RFC4656].  Test session creation of micro OWAMP
   session follows the same procedure as defined in Section 3.5 of OWAMP
   [RFC4656] with the following additions:

   When a OWAMP Server receives a Request-OW-Micro-Session command, if
   the Session is accepted, the OWAMP Server MUST build an association
   between the session and the member link from which the Request-
   Session message is received.

3.2.  Micro OWAMP-Test

   Micro OWAMP-Test reuses the OWAMP-Test packet format and procedures
   as defined in Section 4 of OWAMP [RFC4656] with the following
   additions:

   The micro OWAMP Sender MUST send the micro OWAMP-Test packets over
   the member link with which the session is associated.  When receives
   a Test packet, the micro OWAMP receiver MUST use the member link from
   which the Test packet is received to correlate the micro OWAMP
   session.

4.  Mirco TWAMP Session

   As above, this document assumes that the TWAMP Server and the TWAMP
   Session-Reflector of a micro OWAMP session are at the same host.

4.1.  Micro TWAMP-Control

   To support micro TWAMP session, a new command, which is referred to
   as Request-TW-Micro-Session (TBD2), is defined in this document.  The
   Request-TW-Micro-Session command is based on the TWAMP Request-
   Session command, and uses the message format as described in
   Section 3.5 of TWAMP [RFC5357].  Test session creation of micro TWAMP
   session follows the same procedure as defined in Section 3.5 of TWAMP
   [RFC5357] with the following additions:

   When a micro TWAMP Server receives a Request-TW-Micro-Session
   command, if the micro TWAMP Session is accepted, the micro TWAMP
   Server MUST build an association between the session and the member
   link from which the Request-Session message is received.

4.2.  Micro TWAMP-Test

   The micro TWAMP-Test protocol is based on the TWAMP-Test protocol
   [RFC5357] with the following extensions.

4.2.1.  Sender Behavior

   In addition to inheriting the TWAMP sender behavior as defined
   Section 4.1 of [RFC5357], the micro TWAMP Session-Sender MUST send
   the micro TWAMP-Test packets over the member link with which the
   session is associated.

   When sending Test packet, the micro TWAMP Session-Sender MUST put the
   Sender and Reflector member link identifier that is associated with
   the micro TWAMP session in the Sender Member Link ID and Reflector
   Member Link ID fields (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) respectively.  The
   Sender and Reflector member link identifiers are used for validating
   whether a Test packet is correctly transmitted over the expected
   member link.

   The Reflector member link identifier can be obtained from
   configuration or learned through control plane or data plane (e.g.,
   learned from a reflected Test packet).  How to abtain/learn the
   Reflector member link identifier is out of the scope of this
   document.  If the micro TWAMP Session-Sender does not know the
   Reflector member link identifier, the Reflector Member Link ID field
   MUST be set to zero.

   When receives a reflected Test packet, the micro TWAMP Session-Sender
   MUST use the member link from which the Test packet is received to
   correlate to a micro TWAMP session and use the Sender/Reflector
   member link identifiers to validate whether the Test packet is
   correctly transmitted over the expected member link.

4.2.1.1.  Packet Format and Content

   The micro TWAMP Session-Sender packet format is based on the TWAMP
   Session-Sender packet format as defined in Section 4.1.2 of
   [RFC5357].  In addition, in order to carry the LAG member link
   identifier, two new fields (Sender and Reflector Member Link ID) are
   added.  The formats are as below:

   Except for the Sender/Reflector Member Link ID field, all the other
   fields are the same as defined in Section 4.1.2 of TWAMP [RFC5357],
   which is originally defined in Section 4.1.2 of OWAMP [RFC4656].
   Therefore, it follows the same procedure and guidelines as defined in
   Section 4.1.2 of TWAMP [RFC5357].

   Sender Member Link ID (2-octets in length): it is defined to carry
   the LAG member link identifier of the Sender side.  The value of the
   Sender Member Link ID MUST be unique at the Session-Sender.

   Reflector Member Link ID (2-octets in length): it is defined to carry
   the LAG member link identifier of the Reflector side.  The value of
   the Reflector Member ID MUST be unique at the Session-Reflector.

4.2.2.  Reflector Behavior

   The micro TWAMP Session-Reflector inherits the behaviors of a TWAMP
   Session-Reflector as defined in Section 4.2 of [RFC5357].

   In addition, when receives a Test packet, the micro TWAMP Session-
   Reflector MUST use the member link from which the Test packet is
   received to correlate to a micro TWAMP session and use the Sender and
   Reflector member link identifiers to validate whether the Test packet
   is from the expected member link.

   When sends a response to the received Test packet, the micro TWAMP
   Session-Sender MUST put the Sender and Reflector member link
   identifiers that are associated with the micro TWAMP session in the
   Sender Member Link ID and Reflector Member Link ID fields (see
   Figure 3 and Figure 4) respectively.  The Sender member link
   identifier is copied from the received Test packet.

4.2.2.1.  Packet Format and Content

   The micro TWAMP Session-Reflector packet format is based on the TWAMP
   Session-Reflector packet format as defined in Section 4.2.1 of
   [RFC5357].  In addition, in order to carry the LAG member link
   identifier, two new fields (Sender and Reflector Member Link ID) are
   added.  The formats are as below:

        Figure 8: Session-Reflector Test Packet in Authenticated Mode

   Except for the Sender/Reflector Member Link ID fields, all the other
   fields are the same those as defined in STAMP [RFC8762] and
   [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv].

   Sender Member Link ID (2-octets in length): it is defined to carry
   the LAG member link identifier of the Sender side.  The value of the
   Sender Member Link ID MUST be unique at the Session-Sender.

   Reflector Member Link ID (2-octets in length): it is defined to carry
   the LAG member link identifier of the Reflector side.  The value of
   the Reflector Member ID MUST be unique at the Session-Reflector.

5.1.3.  Micro STAMP-Test Procedures

   The micro STAMP-Test reuses the procedures as defined in Section 4 of
   STAMP [RFC8762] with the following additions:

   The micro STAMP Session-Sender MUST send the micro STAMP-Test packets
   over the member link with which the session is associated.

   The configuration and management of the mapping between a micro STAMP
   session and the Sender/Reflector member link identifiers are outside
   the scope of this document.

   When sending Test packet, the micro STAMP Session-Sender MUST put the
   Sender and Reflector member link identifiers that are associated with
   the micro STAMP session in the Sender Member Link ID and Reflector
   Member Link ID fields (see Figure 5 and Figure 6) respectively.  The
   Sender and Reflector member link identifiers are used for validating
   whether a Test packet is correctly transmitted over the expected
   member link.

   When receives a Test packet, the micro STAMP Session-Reflector MUST
   use the member link from which the Test packet is received to
   correlate to a micro STAMP session and use the Sender/Reflector
   member link identifiers to validate whether the Test packet is is
   correctly transmitted over the expected member link.  If the
   validation passed, the Session-Reflector sends the reflected Test
   packet to the Session-Sender.  The micro STAMP Session-Reflector MUST
   put the Sender and Reflector member link identifiers that are
   associated with the micro STAMP session in the Sender Member Link ID
   and Reflector Member Link ID fields (see Figure 7 and Figure 8)
   respectively.  The Sender member link identifier is copied from the
   received Test packet.

   When receives a reflected Test packet, the micro STAMP Session-Send
   MUST use the member link from which the Test packet is received to
   correlate to a micro STAMP session and use the Sender/Reflector
