Introduction Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP) [RFC8762] enables the measurement of both one-way and round-trip performance metrics, such as delay, delay variation, and packet loss. In the STAMP session, the bidirectional packet flow is transmitted between STAMP Session-Sender and STAMP Session-Reflector. The STAMP Session- Reflector receives test packets transmitted from Session-Sender and acts according to the configuration. However, the performance of intermediate nodes and links that STAMP test packets traverse are invisible. STAMP Extensions can enhance the STAMP base functions with optional TLVs. These optional TLVs can be defined as updates of the STAMP Optional Extensions introduced in [RFC8972]. Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 In several scenarios it is beneficial to perform Hop-By-Hop (HBH) and Edge-To-Edge (E2E) active measurements. Alternate Marking (AltMark) [RFC9341] and In Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) [RFC9197] are Hybrid Methods, which can be employed to perform HBH and E2E active measurements by using STAMP packets and by leveraging the existing AltMark and IOAM options. AltMark and IOAM data fields can be encoded in the Options Headers (Hop-by-Hop or Destination), according to [RFC8200]. The AltMark IPv6 HBH option [RFC9343] and the IOAM IPv6 HBH option [RFC9486] can be coupled with a STAMP session and carried in each STAMP test packet to enable HBH measurements. Similarly to IPv6, MPLS packets can carry MPLS Network Action (MNA) Sub-Stack as defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-hdr]. This document also introduces optional TLVs to STAMP, which enable performance measurement at every intermediate node and link along a STAMP test packet's delivery path, such as measurement of delay, delay variation, packet loss, and record of link errors and route information. Therefore, the STAMP test packets, which are transmitted along a path between a Session-Sender and a Session- Reflector to measure only Edge-To-Edge (E2E) performance delay and packet loss along that path, can be augmented to measure Hop-By-Hop (HbH) parameters. This document introduces Extensions to STAMP for HbH Delay, HbH Loss, HbH Bandwidth Utilization, HbH Interface Errors. 2. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119], RFC 8174 [RFC8174]. 3. Operation and Management of HbH STAMP Performance Measurements The next figure presents the STAMP Session-Sender, Intermediate- Node(s) and Session-Reflector with a measurement session. A measurement session is also referred to as a STAMP session and it is the bidirectional packet flow between one specific Session-Sender and one particular Session-Reflector for a time duration. The Intermediate-Nodes are nodes which do not necessarily need to perform any STAMP processing. If they support the HbH STAMP Extensions defined in this document, they can read and write the HbH STAMP Extensions. The configuration and management of the STAMP Session-Sender, Intermediate-Node(s), Session-Reflector, and sessions are outside the scope of this document and can be achieved through various means, as mentioned in [RFC8762].

IPv6 HBH option with STAMP As defined in [RFC7799], Hybrid Methods are characterized by the augmentation or modification of the stream of interest. AltMark and IOAM are two examples of Hybrid Methods. For IPv6, [RFC9343] and [RFC9486] define the IPv6 HBH options of AltMark and IOAM respectively. The STAMP Session-Sender initiates a Session-Sender test packet and the STAMP Session-Reflector transmits a reply Session-Reflector test packet. The STAMP Session-Sender also adds the IPv6 HBH option in the Session-Sender test packets to enable HBH measurements in the forward direction. Intermediate nodes do not perform any STAMP processing, but must support the IPv6 HBH option related methodology. The Session-Reflector also adds the IPv6 HBH option in the reply Session-Reflector test packets to enable HBH in the backward direction as well. +------------------------------------+ | IPv6 Header | +------------------------------------+ | IPv6 HBH Option | +------------------------------------+ | UDP Header | +------------------------------------+ | STAMP Packet | +------------------------------------+ Figure 2: STAMP Test Packet with IPv6 HbH Option The previous figure represents an example STAMP test packet, which includes an IPv6 HBH option. The intermediate nodes do not perform any STAMP processing but can read and handle the IPv6 HBH Option if they are configured to do so. Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 4] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 4.1. Alternate-Marking The Alternate Marking method can be used in combination with STAMP. [RFC9343] defines the Hop-by-Hop Options Header and the Destination Options Header to carry AltMark data fields. The STAMP Session-Sender and Session-Reflector add the AltMark IPv6 HBH option [RFC9343] to the STAMP test packets. The intermediate nodes must support Alternate Marking and can apply the methodology according to [RFC9341] to perform loss and delay measurements. For Alternate Marking, the source node is the only one that writes the IPv6 HBH Option while the intermediate nodes can only read the IPv6 HBH Option, without modifying the packet. The addition of the AltMark IPv6 HBH option augments the STAMP active measurements by enabling HBH measurements together with the usual E2E measurements. It is worth highlighting that this approach is not adding any new functionalities to STAMP, but it is only leveraging the existing AltMark mechanisms to measure the performance of intermediate nodes and links that STAMP test packets traverse. it is possible to use YANG [I-D.ydt-ippm-alt-mark-yang] to configure and IPFIX [I-D.gfz-opsawg-ipfix-alt-mark] or YANG Push to report AltMark telemetry information from each intermediate node to a collector. 4.2. IOAM IOAM can be used in combination with STAMP. [RFC9486] defines the Hop-by-Hop Options Header and the Destination Options Header to carry IOAM data fields. The STAMP Session-Sender and Session-Reflector test packets carry the IOAM IPv6 HBH option for recording and collecting HBH and E2E operational and telemetry information for active measurement. The intermediate nodes must support IOAM and process the IOAM data fields. For IOAM, the source node and the intermediate nodes modify the IPv6 HBH Option to include the needed information. [I-D.gandhi-ippm-stamp-ext-hdr] extends STAMP to reflect back from the Session-Reflector to the Session-Sender any IPv6 options and MPLS Network Action Sub-Stacks for hop-by-hop and edge-to-edge active measurements. It is also be possible to use IPFIX/YANG Push/IOAM DEX to report AltMark telemetry information from each intermediate node to a collector. Zhou, et al.

HbH Delay TLV STAMP Session-Sender can place the HbH Delay TLV in Session-Sender test packets to record the ingress timestamp and the egress timestamp at every intermediate nodes along the Session-Sender test packet path. The Session-Sender MUST set the Length value according to the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path and the timestamp formats. There are several methods to synchronize the clock, e.g., Network Time Protocol (NTP) [RFC5905] and IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) [IEEE.1588.2008]. For example, if a 64-bit timestamp format defined in NTP is used, the Length value MUST be set as a multiple of 16 octets. The Timestamp Tuple list [1..n] fields MUST be set to zero upon Session-Sender test packets transmission. The HbH Delay TLV has the following format: 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| HbH Delay Type| Length | +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+ | | | Timestamp Tuple list [1] | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ ~ ... ~ +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Timestamp Tuple list [n] | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 3: HbH Delay TLV Format where fields are defined as the following: * STAMP TLV Flags: The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described in [RFC8972]. * HbH Delay Type: To be assigned by IANA. Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 6] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 * Length: A 8-bit field that indicates the length of the value portion in octets and MUST be a multiple of 16 octets according to the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path. * Node Left: A 8-bit unsigned integer, which indicates the number of intermediate nodes remaining. It is the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes still to be visited before reaching the destination node. The Node Left field is set to n-1, where n is the number of intermediate nodes. * Timestamp Tuple list [1..n]: A variable-length field, which record the timestamp when the Session-Sender test packet is received at the ingress of the n-th intermediate node and the timestamp when the Session-Sender test packet is sent at egress of the n-th intermediate node. For example, if a 64-bit timestamp format defined in NTP is used, the length of each Timestamp Tuple (ingress timestamp [n], egress timestamp [n]) must be 16 octets. The Timestamp Tuple list is encoded starting from the last intermediate node which is explicitly listed. That is, the first element of the Timestamp Tuple list [1] records the timestamps when the Session-Sender test packet received and forwarded at the last intermediate node of a explicit path, the second element records the penultimate Timestamp Tuple when the Session-Sender test packet received and forwarded at the penultimate intermediate node of a explicit path, and so on. The STAMP Session-Sender generates the STAMP test packet with the HbH Delay TLV. When an intermediate node receives the STAMP test packet, the node punts the packet to control plane and fills the ingress timestamp [n] filed in the Timestamp Tuple list [n]. Then the time taken by the intermediate node transmitting the test packet is recorded in the egress timestamp [n] field. The mechanism of timestamping and punting packet to control plane is outside the scope of this specification. When the STAMP Session-Reflector received the test packet with the HbH Delay TLV, it MUST copy the HbH Delay TLV into the Session- Reflector test packet before its transmission. Using HbH Delay TLV in STAMP testing enables HbH delay measurement. 5.2. HbH Loss TLV STAMP Session-Sender can place the HbH Loss TLV in Session-Sender test packets to record the number of Session-Sender test packets received at and transmitted by every intermediate nodes along the path. The Session-Sender MUST set the Length value according to the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes in the path. A Counter Tuple is composed of a 64-bit Receive Counter field and a Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 7] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 64-bit Transmit Counter field. The Counter Tuple list [1..n] fields MUST be set to zero upon Session-Sender test packets transmission. The HbH Loss TLV has the following format: 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| HbH Loss Type | Length | +---------------+---------------+-------------------------------+ | | | Counter Tuple list [1] | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ ~ ... ~ +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Counter Tuple list [n] | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ Figure 4: HbH Loss TLV Format where fields are defined as the following: * STAMP TLV Flags: The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described in [RFC8972]. * HbH Loss Type: To be assigned by IANA. * Length: A 8-bit field that indicates the length of the value portion in octets and will be a multiple of 16 octets dependent on the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path. * Node Left: A 8-bit unsigned integer, which indicates the number of intermediate nodes remaining. It is the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes still to be visited before reaching the destination node. The Node Left field is set to n-1, where n is the number of intermediate nodes. * Counter Tuple list [1..n]: A variable-length field, which record the Receive Counter and the Transmit Counter when the test packet is received at and transmitted by the n-th intermediate node. The Counter Tuple list is encoded starting from the last intermediate node which is explicitly listed. That is, the first element of the Counter Tuple list [1] records the Receive Counter and the Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 8] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 Transmit Counter when the test packet is received at and transmitted by the last intermediate node of a explicit path, the second element records the penultimate Counter Tuple when the test packet received and forwarded at the penultimate intermediate node of a explicit path, and so on. The STAMP Session-Sender generates the STAMP test packet with the HbH Loss TLV. When an intermediate node receives the STAMP test packet, the node punts the packet to control plane and writes the Receive Counter [n] and the Transmit Counter [n] at the Counter Tuple list [n] in the Session-Sender test packet. The mechanism of punting packet to control plane is outside the scope of this specification. When the STAMP Session-Reflector received the test packet with the HbH Loss TLV, it MUST copy the HbH Loss TLV into the Session- Reflector test packet before its transmission. Using HbH Loss TLV in STAMP testing enables packet HbH loss measurement. 5.3. HbH Bandwidth Utilization TLV STAMP Session-Sender can place the HbH Bandwidth Utilization (BW Utilization) TLV in Session-Sender test packets to record the ingress and egress BW Utilization at every intermediate nodes along the path. The Session-Sender MUST set the Length value according to the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path. A BW Utilization Tuple is composed of a 32-bit ingress BW Utilization field and a 32-bit egress BW Utilization field. The BW Utilization Tuple list [1..n] fields MUST be set to zero upon Session-Sender test packets transmission. The HbH Bandwidth Utilization TLV has the following format: 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| HbH BW U.

Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 9] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 where fields are defined as the following: * STAMP TLV Flags: The STAMP TLV Flags follow the procedures described in [RFC8972]. * HbH BW Utilization Type: To be assigned by IANA. * Length: A 8-bit field that indicates the length of the value portion in octets and will be a multiple of 8 octets dependent on the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path. * Node Left: A 8-bit unsigned integer, which indicates the number of intermediate nodes remaining. It is the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes still to be visited before reaching the destination node. The Node Left field is set to n-1, where n is the number of intermediate nodes. * BW Utilization Tuple list [1..n]: A variable-length field, which record the ingress and egress bandwidth utilization when the test packet is received at and transmitted by the n-th intermediate node. The BW Utilization Tuple list is encoded starting from the last intermediate node which is explicitly listed. That is, the first element of the BW Utilization Tuple list [1] records the ingress and the egress bandwidth utilization when the test packet is received at and transmitted by the last intermediate node of a explicit path, the second element records the penultimate BW Utilization Tuple when the test packet received at and transmitted by the penultimate intermediate node of a explicit path, and so on. The STAMP Session-Sender generates the STAMP test packet with the HbH BW Utilization TLV. When an intermediate node receives the STAMP test packet, the node punts the packet to control plane and writes the ingress and egress bandwidth utilization at the BW Utilization Tuple list [n] in the Session-Sender test packet. The mechanism of punting packet to control plane is outside the scope of this specification. When the STAMP Session-Reflector received the test packet with the HbH BW Utilization TLV, it MUST copy the HbH BW Utilization TLV into the Session-Reflector test packet before its transmission. The HbH BW Utilization TLV carried in STAMP test packet is useful to detect and troubleshoot the link congestion. Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 10] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 5.4. HbH Interface Errors TLV STAMP Session-Sender can place the HbH Interface Errors TLV in Session-Sender test packets to record the errors detected on the interface of every intermediate node used to receive the packet along the path. The record of interface errors indicates the quality of the interfaces along the path and is helpful to analyze the performance degrades associated with the flow. A Interface Errors is a 32 bits unsigned integer field. This field records the Bit Error Rate (BER) or number of packet drop due to Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors. The Session-Sender MUST set the Length value according to the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes along the path. The Interface Errors list [1..n] fields MUST be set to zero upon Session-Sender test packets transmission. The HbH Timestamp Information TLV has the following format: 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| HbH I.E.

Zhou, et al. Expires 26 October 2024 [Page 11] Internet-Draft draft-wang-ippm-stamp-hbh-extensions April 2024 * Node Left: A 8-bit unsigned integer, which indicates the number of intermediate nodes remaining. It is the number of explicitly listed intermediate nodes still to be visited before reaching the destination node. The Node Left field is set to n-1, where n is the number of intermediate nodes. * Interface Errors list [1..n]: A variable-length field, which record the errors detected on the interface of the n-th intermediate node used to receive the packet along the path. The Interface Errors list is encoded starting from the last intermediate node which is explicitly listed. That is, the first element of the Interface Errors list [1] records the interface errors when the test packet is received at the last intermediate node of a explicit path, the second element records the penultimate interface errors when the test packet received at the penultimate intermediate node of a explicit path, and so on. The STAMP Session-Sender generates the STAMP test packet with the HbH Interface Errors TLV. When an intermediate node receives the STAMP test packet, the node punts the packet to control plane and writes the errors at the Interface Errors list [n] in the Session-Sender test packet. The mechanism of punting packet to control plane is outside the scope of this specification. When the STAMP Session-Reflector received the test packet with the HbH Interface Errors TLV, it MUST copy the HbH Interface Errors TLV into the Session-Reflector test packet before its transmission. The HbH Interface Errors TLV carried in STAMP test packet is useful to detect interface errors from every intermediate nodes. 6.
