Performance Measurement Using STAMP for Segment Routing Networks
draft-gandhi-spring-stamp-srpm-00
Abstract
Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. SR is
applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-MPLS) and IPv6
(SRv6) data planes. This document specifies procedure for sending
and processing probe query and response messages for Performance
Measurement (PM) in Segment Routing networks. The procedure uses the
mechanisms defined in RFC 8762 (Simple Two-Way Active Measurement
Protocol (STAMP)) for Delay Measurement, and uses the mechanisms
defined in this document for Loss Measurement. The procedure
specified is applicable to SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes and is used
for both Links and end-to-end SR Policies.

1. Introduction
Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm and
greatly simplifies network operations for Software Defined Networks
(SDNs). SR is applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-
MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) data planes. SR takes advantage of the Equal-
Cost Multipaths (ECMPs) between source and transit nodes, between
transit nodes and between transit and destination nodes. 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. Built-in SR Performance Measurement (PM) is one of the
essential requirements 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 using probe messages [RFC8762]. It eliminates the control-
channel signaling by using configuration data model to provision a
test-channel (e.g. UDP paths). [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv]
defines TLV extensions for STAMP messages.
The STAMP message with a TLV for "direct measurement" can be used for
combined Delay + Loss measurement [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv].
However, in order to use only for loss measurement purpose, it
requires the node to support the delay measurement messages and
support timestamp for these messages (which may also require clock
synchronization). Furthermore, for hardware-based counter collection
for direct-mode loss meaurement, the optional TLV based processing
adds unnecessary overhead (as counters are not at well-known
locations).
This document specifies procedures for sending and processing probe
query and response messages for Performance Measurement in SR
networks. The procedure uses the mechanisms defined in [RFC8762]
(STAMP) (including the TLV extensions) for Delay Measurement (DM),
and uses the mechanisms defined in this document for Loss
Measurement. The procedure specified is applicable to SR-MPLS and
SRv6 data planes and are used for both Links and end-to-end SR
Policies. This document also defines mechanisms for handling ECMPs
of SR Policies for performance delay measurement. Unless otherwise
specified, the mechanisms defined in [RFC8762] and
[I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv] are not modified by this document.

2.3. Reference Topology
In the reference topology shown below, the sender node R1 initiates a
probe query for performance measurement and the reflector node R5
sends a probe response for the query message received. The probe
response is sent to the sender node R1. The nodes R1 and R5 may be
directly connected via a Link or there exists a Point-to-Point (P2P)
SR Policy [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] on node R1 with
destination to node R5. In case of Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP), SR
Policy originating from source node R1 may terminate on multiple
destination leaf nodes [I-D.voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment].

3. Overview
For one-way, two-way and round-trip delay measurements in Segment
Routing networks, the probe messages defined in [RFC8762] are used.
For direct-mode and inferred-mode loss measurements in Segment
Routing networks, the messages defined in this document are used.
Separate UDP destination port numbers are user-configured for delay
and loss measurements from the range specified in [RFC8762]. The
sender uses the UDP port number following the guidelines specified in
Section 6 in [RFC6335]. The UDP destination port 862 can be used for
delay measurement probes by default except for the case where the
reflector needs to process STAMP TLVs. For both Links and end-to-end
SR Policies, no PM session for delay or loss measurement is created
on the reflector node R5 [RFC8762].
For Performance Measurement, probe query and response messages are
sent as following:
o For Delay Measurement, the probe messages are sent on the
congruent path of the data traffic by the sender node, and are
used to measure the delay experienced by the actual data traffic
flowing on the Links and SR Policies.
o For Loss Measurement, the probe messages are sent on the congruent
path of the data traffic by the sender node, and are used to
collect the receive traffic counters for the incoming link or

incoming SID where the probe query messages are received at the
reflector node (incoming link or incoming SID needed since the
reflector node does not have PM session state present).
The In-Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM)
mechanisms for SR-MPLS defined in [I-D.gandhi-mpls-ioam-sr] and for
SRv6 defined in [I-D.ali-spring-ioam-srv6] are used to carry PM
information such as timestamp in-band as part of the data packets,
and are outside the scope of this document.
3.1. Example Provisioning Model
An example of a provisioning model and typical measurement parameters
for each user-configured destination UDP port for performance delay
and loss measurements is shown in the following Figure 1:

Example of Measurement Protocol is STAMP, the Timestamp Format is
PTPv2 [IEEE1588] or NTP and the Loss Measurement mode is inferred-
mode or direct-mode. The mechanisms to provision the sender and
reflector nodes are outside the scope of this document.
The reflector node R5 uses the parameters for the timestamp format
and delay measurement mode (i.e. one-way, two-way or loopback mode)
from the received probe query message.

4. Probe Messages
4.1. Probe Query Message
The probe messages defined in [RFC8762] are used for Delay
Measurement for Links and end-to-end SR Policies. For Loss
Measurement, the probe messages defined in this document are used.
The Sender IPv4 or IPv6 address is used as the source address. When
known, the reflector IPv4 or IPv6 address is used as the destination
address. If not known, the address in the range of 127/8 for IPv4 or
0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00/104 for IPv6 is used as destination address.
This is the case for example, when using SR Policy with IPv4 endpoint
of 0.0.0.0 or IPv6 endpoint of ::0
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].
4.1.1. Delay Measurement Query Message
The message content for Delay Measurement probe query message using
UDP header [RFC0768] is shown in Figure 2. The DM probe query
message is sent with user-configured Destination UDP port number for
DM. The Destination UDP port cannot be used as Source port, since
the message does not have any indication to distinguish between the
query and response message. The payload of the DM probe query
message contains the delay measuremen message defined in [RFC8762].
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| IP Header |
. Source IP Address = Sender IPv4 or IPv6 Address .
. Destination IP Address = Reflector IPv4 or IPv6 Address .
. Protocol = UDP .

[IEEE1588] as specified in [RFC8186], with hardware support in
Segment Routing networks.
4.1.1.1. Delay Measurement Authentication Mode
When using the authenticated mode for delay measurement, the matching
authentication type (e.g. HMAC-SHA-256) and key are user-configured
on both the sender and reflector nodes. A separate user-configured
destination UDP port is used for the delay measurement in
authentication mode due to the different probe message format.
4.1.2. Loss Measurement Query Message
The message content for Loss Measurement probe query message using
UDP header [RFC0768] is shown in Figure 3. The LM probe query
message is sent with user-configured Destination UDP port number for
LM, which is a different Destination UDP port number than DM.
Separate Destination UDP ports are used for direct-mode and inferred-
mode loss measurements. The Destination UDP port cannot be used as
Source port, since the message does not have any indication to
distinguish between the query and response message. The LM probe
query message contains the payload for loss measurement as defined in
Figure 7 and Figure 8.

destination UDP port is used for the loss measurement in
authentication mode due to the different message format.
4.1.3. Probe Query for Links
The probe query message as defined in Figure 2 for delay measurement
and Figure 3 for loss measurement is sent on the congruent path of
the data traffic. The probe messages are routed over the Link for
both delay and loss measurement.
4.1.4. Probe Query for End-to-end Measurement for SR Policy
The performance delay and loss measurement for segment routing is
applicable to both SR-MPLS and SRv6 Policies.
4.1.4.1. Probe Query Message for SR-MPLS Policy
The probe query messages for end-to-end performance measurement of an
SR-MPLS Policy is sent using its SR-MPLS header containing the MPLS
segment list as shown in Figure 4.

An SRv6 Policy setup using the SRv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH) and
a Segment List as defined in [RFC8754]. For SRv6, network
programming is defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-srv6-network-programming].
The probe query messages for end-to-end performance measurement of an
SRv6 Policy is sent using its SRH with Segment List as shown in
Figure 5.

For delay measurement of SRv6 Policy using SRH, END function END.OTP
[I-D.ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam] is used with the target SRv6 SID to
punt probe messages on the target node, as shown in Figure 5.
Similarly, for loss measurement of SRv6 Policy, END function END.OP
[I-D.ietf-6man-spring-srv6-oam] is used with target SRv6 SID to punt
probe messages on the target node.
4.1.5. Control Code Field for STAMP Messages
The Control Code field is defined for delay and loss measurement
probe query and response messages for STAMP protocol in
unauthenticated and authenticated modes. The modified delay
measurement probe query and response message format for STAMP is
shown in Figure 6. This message format is backwards compatible with
the message format defined in STAMP [RFC8762] as its reflector MUST
ignore the received field (previously identified as MBZ). The usage
of the Control Code is not limited to the SR networks and can be used
for various bidirectional paths in a network.

4.1.6. Loss Measurement Query Message Formats for STAMP
In this document, STAMP probe query message formats are defined for
loss measurement as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8. The message
formats are hardware efficient due to the well-known locations of the
counters. They are similar to the delay measurement message formats
(e.g. location of the Counter and Timestamp) and do not require any
backwards compatibility or support for the existing DM message
formats from [RFC8762] as different user-configured destination UDP
port is used for loss measurement.

Figure 8: STAMP LM Probe Query Message - Authenticated Mode
Sequence Number (32-bit): As defined in [RFC8762].
Transmit Counter (64-bit): The number of packets or octets sent by
the sender node in the query message and by the reflector node in the
response message. The counter is always written at the well-known
location in the probe query and response messages.
Receive Counter (64-bit): The number of packets or octets received at
the reflector node. It is written by the reflector node in the probe
response message.
Sender Counter (64-bit): This is the exact copy of the transmit
counter from the received query message. It is written by the
reflector node in the probe response message.
Sender Sequence Number (32-bit): As defined in [RFC8762].
Sender TTL: As defined in Section 7.1.
LM Flags: The meanings of the Flag bits are:
Gandhi, et al. Expires September 24, 2020 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft STAMP for Segment Routing March 2020
X: Extended counter format indicator. Indicates the use of
extended (64-bit) counter values. Initialized to 1 upon creation
(and prior to transmission) of an LM Query and copied from an LM
Query to an LM response. Set to 0 when the LM message is
transmitted or received over an interface that writes 32-bit
counter values.
B: Octet (byte) count. When set to 1, indicates that the Counter
1-4 fields represent octet counts. The octet count applies to all
packets within the LM scope, and the octet count of a packet sent
or received includes the total length of that packet (but excludes
headers, labels, or framing of the channel itself). When set to
0, indicates that the Counter fields represent packet counts.
Block Number (8-bit): The Loss Measurement using Alternate-Marking
method defined in [RFC8321] requires to color the data traffic. To
be able to compare the transmit and receive traffic counters of the
matching color, the Block Number (or color) of the traffic counters
is carried by the probe query and response messages for loss
measurement.
HMAC: The PM probe message in authenticated mode includes a key
Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) ([RFC2104]) hash. Each
probe query and response messages are authenticated by adding
Sequence Number with Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) TLV.
It can use HMAC-SHA-256 truncated to 128 bits (similarly to the use
of it in IPSec defined in [RFC4868]); hence the length of the HMAC
field is 16 octets.
HMAC uses its own key and the mechanism to distribute the HMAC key is
outside the scope of this document.
In authenticated mode, only the sequence number is encrypted, and the
other payload fields are sent in clear text. The probe message MAY
include Comp.MBZ (Must Be Zero) variable length field to align the
packet on 16 octets boundary.
4.2. Probe Response Message
The probe response message is sent using the IP/UDP information from
the received probe query message. The content of the probe response
message is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9: Probe Response Message
4.2.1. One-way Measurement Mode
In one-way performance measurement mode, the probe response message
as defined in Figure 9 is sent back out-of-band to the sender node,
for both Links and SR Policies. The Sender Control Code is set to
"Out-of-band Response Requested". In this delay measurement mode, as
per Reference Topology, all timestamps t1, t2, t3, and t4 are
collected by the probes. However, only timestamps t1 and t2 are
needed to measure one-way delay.
4.2.2. Two-way Measurement Mode
In two-way performance measurement mode, when using a bidirectional
path, the probe response message as defined in Figure 9 is sent back
to the sender node on the congruent path of the data traffic on the
same reverse direction Link or associated reverse SR Policy
[I-D.ietf-pce-sr-bidir-path]. The Sender Control Code is set to "In-
band Response Requested". In this delay measurement mode, as per
Reference Topology, all timestamps t1, t2, t3, and t4 are collected
by the probes. All four timestamps are needed to measure two-way
delay.
Specifically, the probe response message is sent back on the incoming
physical interface where the probe query message is received. This
is useful for example, in case of two-way measurement mode for Link
delay.

4.2.3. Loopback Measurement Mode
The Loopback measurement mode can be used to measure round-trip delay
for a bidirectional SR Path. The IP header of the probe query
message contains the destination address equals to the sender address
and the source address equals to the reflector address. Optionally,
the probe query message can carry the reverse path information (e.g.
reverse path label stack for SR-MPLS) as part of the SR header. The
probe messages are not punted at the reflector node and it does not
process them and generate response messages. The Sender Control Code
is set to the default value of 0. In this mode, as the probe packet
is not punted on the reflector node for processing, the querier
copies the 'Sequence Number' in 'Session-Sender Sequence Number'
directly. In this delay measurement mode, as per Reference Topology,
the timestamps t1 and t4 are collected by the probes. Both these
timestamps are needed to measure round-trip delay.
4.2.4. Loss Measurement Response Message Formats for STAMP
In this document, STAMP probe response message formats are defined

4.3. Node Address TLV for STAMP Message
In this document, Node Address TLV is defined for STAMP message
[I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv] and has the following format shown
in Figure 14:
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

| Type | Length | Address Family |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Address ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 14: Node Address TLV Format
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 following Type is defined and it contains Node Address TLV:
Destination Node Address (value TBA1):
The Destination Node Address TLV is optional. The Destination Node
Address TLV indicates the address of the intended recipient node of
the probe message. The reflector node SHOULD NOT send response if it
is not the intended destination node of the probe query message.
This check is useful for example, for performance measurement of SR
Policy when using the destination address in 127/8 range for IPv4 or
in 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00/104 range for IPv6.
4.4. Return Path TLV for STAMP Message
For two-way performance measurement, the reflector node needs to send
the probe response message on a specific reverse path. The sender
node can request in the probe query message to the reflector node to
send a response back on a given reverse path (e.g. co-routed
bidirectional path). This way the destination node does not require
any additional SR Policy state.
For one-way performance measurement, the sender node address may not
be reachable via IP route from the reflector node. The sender node
in this case needs to send its reachability path information to the
reflector node.
[I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv] defines STAMP probe query messages
that can include one or more optional TLVs. The TLV Type (value
Gandhi, et al. Expires September 24, 2020 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft STAMP for Segment Routing March 2020
TBA2) is defined in this document for Return Path that carries
reverse path for STAMP probe response messages (in the payload of the
message). The format of the Return Path TLV is shown in Figure 15:
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 16: Segment List Sub-TLV in Return Path TLV
The Segment List Sub-TLV (shown in Figure 16) in the Return Path TLV
can be one of the following Types:
o Type (value 1): SR-MPLS Label Stack of the Reverse SR Path
o Type (value 2): SR-MPLS Binding SID
[I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] of the Reverse SR Policy
Gandhi, et al. Expires September 24, 2020 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft STAMP for Segment Routing March 2020
o Type (value 3): SRv6 Segment List of the Reverse SR Path
o Type (value 4): SRv6 Binding SID [I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid]
of the Reverse SR Policy
The Return Path TLV is optional. The PM sender node MUST only insert
one Return Path TLV in the probe query message and the reflector node
MUST only process the first Return Path TLV in the probe query
message and ignore other Return Path TLVs if present. The reflector
node MUST send probe response message back on the reverse path
specified in the Return Path TLV and MUST NOT add Return Path TLV in
the probe response message.
5. Performance Measurement for P2MP SR Policies
The procedures for delay and loss measurement described in this
document for Point-to-Point (P2P) SR Policies
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] are also equally applicable
to the Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) SR Policies as following:
o The sender root node sends probe query messages using the
Replication Segment defined in
[I-D.voyer-spring-sr-replication-segment] for the P2MP SR Policy
as shown in Figure 17.
o Each reflector leaf node sends its IP address in the Source
Address of the probe response messages as shown in Figure 9. This
allows the sender root node to identify the reflector leaf nodes
of the P2MP SR Policy.
o The P2MP root node measures the end-to-end delay and loss
performance for each P2MP leaf node of the P2MP SR Policy.

6. ECMP Support for SR Policies
An SR Policy can have ECMPs between the source and transit nodes,
between transit nodes and between transit and destination nodes.
Usage of Anycast SID [RFC8402] by an SR Policy can result in ECMP
paths via transit nodes part of that Anycast group. The PM probe
messages need to be sent to traverse different ECMP paths to measure
performance delay of an SR Policy.
Forwarding plane has various hashing functions available to forward
packets on specific ECMP paths. The mechanisms described in
[RFC8029] and [RFC5884] for handling ECMPs are also applicable to the
performance measurement. In the IP header of the PM probe messages,
sweeping of Destination Addresses in 127/8 range for IPv4 or
0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00/104 range for IPv6 can be used to exercise
particular ECMP paths. As specified in [RFC6437], Flow Label field
in the outer IPv6 header can also be used for sweeping.
The considerations for performance loss measurement for different
ECMP paths of an SR Policy are outside the scope of this document.
7. Additional Message Processing Rules
The processing rules defined in this section are applicable to the
STAMP messages for delay and loss measurement for Links and end-to-
end SR Policies.
7.1. TTL and Hop Limit
The TTL field in the IPv4 and MPLS headers of the probe query
messages is set to 255 [RFC8762]. Similarly, the Hop Limit field in
the IPv6 and SRH headers of the probe query messages is set to 255
[RFC8762].
When using the Destination IPv4 Address from the 127/8 range, the TTL
in the IPv4 header is set to 1 [RFC8029]. Similarly, when using the
Destination IPv6 Address from the 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00/104 range, the
Hop Limit field in the inner IPv6 header is set to 1 whereas in the
outer IPv6 header is set to 255.
For Link performance delay and loss measurements, the TTL and Hop
Limit field in the probe message is set to 1 in both one-way and two-
way measurement modes.
Gandhi, et al. Expires September 24, 2020 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft STAMP for Segment Routing March 2020
7.2. Router Alert Option
The Router Alert IP option is not set when using the routable
Destination IP Address in the probe messages.
When using the Destination IPv4 Address from the 127/8 range, to be
able to punt probe packets on the reflector node, the Router Alert IP
Option of value 0x0 [RFC2113] for IPv4 MAY be added [RFC8029].
Similarly, when using the Destination IPv6 Address from the
0:0:0:0:0:FFFF:7F00/104 range, the Router Alert IP Option of value 69
[RFC7506] for IPv6 MAY be added in the destination option header,
Section 4.6 of [RFC8200]. For SRv6 Policy using SRH, it is added in
the inner IPv6 header.
7.3. UDP Checksum
The UDP Checksum Complement for delay and loss measurement messages
follows the procedure defined in [RFC7820] and can be optionally used
with the procedures defined in this document.
For IPv4 and IPv6 probe messages, where the hardware is not capable
of re-computing the UDP checksum or adding checksum complement
[RFC7820], the sender node sets the UDP checksum to 0 [RFC6936]
[RFC8085]. The receiving node bypasses the checksum validation and
accepts the packets with UDP checksum value 0 for the UDP port being
used for PM delay and loss measurements.
8. Security Considerations
The performance measurement is intended for deployment in well-
managed private and service provider networks. As such, it assumes
that a node involved in a measurement operation has previously
verified the integrity of the path and the identity of the far-end
reflector node.
If desired, attacks can be mitigated by performing basic validation
and sanity checks, at the sender, of the counter or timestamp fields
in received measurement response messages. The minimal state
associated with these protocols also limits the extent of measurement
disruption that can be caused by a corrupt or invalid message to a
single query/response cycle.
Use of HMAC-SHA-256 in the authenticated mode protects the data
integrity of the probe messages. SRv6 has HMAC protection
authentication defined for SRH [RFC8754]. Hence, PM probe messages
for SRv6 may not need authentication mode. Cryptographic measures
may be enhanced by the correct configuration of access-control lists
and firewalls.

9. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to allocate a value for the following optional
Destination Address TLV Type for [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv] to
be carried in PM probe messages:
o Type TBA1: Destination Node Address TLV
IANA is also requested to allocate a value for the following optional
Return Path TLV Type for [I-D.ietf-ippm-stamp-option-tlv] to be
carried in PM probe query messages:
o Type TBA2: Return Path TLV
IANA is also requested to allocate the values for the following Sub-
TLV Types for the Return Path TLV.
o Type (value 0): Return Address
o Type (value 1): SR-MPLS Label Stack of the Reverse SR Path
o Type (value 2): SR-MPLS Binding SID
[I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] of the Reverse SR Policy
o Type (value 3): SRv6 Segment List of the Reverse SR Path
o Type (value 4): SRv6 Binding SID [I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid]
of the Reverse SR Policy
