Path Tracing in SRv6 networks
draft-filsfils-spring-path-tracing-05
Abstract
Path Tracing provides a record of the packet path as a sequence of
interface ids. In addition, it provides a record of end-to-end
delay, per-hop delay, and load on each egress interface along the
packet delivery path.
Path Tracing allows to trace 14 hops with only a 40-bytes IPv6 Hop-
by-Hop extension header.
Path Tracing supports fine grained timestamp. It has been designed
for linerate hardware implementation in the base pipeline.

Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
1. Introduction
Path Tracing provides a record of the packet path as a sequence of
interface ids. In addition, it provides a record of end-to-end
delay, per-hop delay, and load on each egress interface along the
packet delivery path.
Path Tracing allows to trace 14 hops with only a 40 bytes IPv6 Hop-
by-Hop header. The overhead is lower than [INT], [RFC9197],
[I-D.song-opsawg-ifit-framework], and [I-D.kumar-ippm-ifa].
Path Tracing supports fine-grained timestamps. It has been designed
for linerate hardware implementation in the base pipeline.
Path Tracing is applicable to both SR-MPLS [RFC8660], as well as SRv6
[RFC8986]. This document defines the Path Tracing specification for
the SRv6 dataplane. The SR-MPLS dataplane will be detailed in a
separate document.
The specification proposed in this document has been implemented
successfully in different interoperable hardware platforms at
linerate (Section 11).
2. Terminology
The following terms used within this document are defined in
[RFC8402], [RFC8754] and [RFC8986]: Segment Routing (SR), SR Domain,
Segment ID (SID), SRv6, SRv6 SID, SR Policy, Segment Routing Header
(SRH), SR source node, transit node, SR Endpoint, SA, DA.
The following terms are used in this document as defined below:
PT: Path Tracing
MCD: Midpoint Compressed Data (MCD). Information that every transit
router adds to the packet for PT purposes. Defined in Section 3 of
this document.
HbH-PT: IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option [RFC8200] for Path Tracing. It
contains a stack of MCDs. It is defined in Section 9.1 of this
document
DOH-PT: IPv6 Destination Option [RFC8200] for Path Tracing. It is
defined in Section 9.2 of this document.
PT Source: A Source node that starts a PT Probing Instance (defined
in Section 5) and generates PT probes.
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
PT Midpoint: A transit node that performs plain IPv6 forwarding (or
SR Endpoint processing) and in addition records PT information in the
HbH-PT.
PT Sink: A node that receives PT probes sent from the SRC containing
the information recorded by every PT Midpoint along the path, and
forwards them to a regional collector after recording its PT
information.
RC: Regional collector that receives PT probes, parses, and stores
them in TimeSeries Database. It uses the information in the HBH-PT
and the DOH-PT to construct the packet delivery path as well as the
timestamp at each node.
2.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Midpoint Compressed Data
Every PT Midpoint along the packet delivery path -from Source to
Sink- records its PT information into the HbH-PT header. This
information is known as Midpoint Compressed Data (MCD). It contains
the following information:
* MCD.OIF (Outgoing Interface ID): An 8-bit or 12-bit interface ID
associated with the egress physical interface of the router
- The interface ID is assigned by an operator. The Interface IDs
are not globally unique across the entire network. Indeed the
same Interface ID may be repeated multiple times in the network
as long as the end-to-end path can be deterministically
inferred based on the chain of Interface IDs.
- The programming of the Interface ID in the device may be done
by CLI/NETCONF or any other means, and it is out of the scope
of this document.
- The usage of an 8-bit or 12-bit Interface ID is an operator
choice, but the Interface ID size MUST be consistent across the
entire network.
- In case of Link Aggregation Groups (LAG/bundle) [LAG], each one
of the members is configured with a different interface ID.
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
* MCD.OIL (Outgoing Interface Load): A 4-bit representation of the
egress interface load (i.e., current throughout relative to the
interface bandwidth).
- The load is represented using a 4-bit value in logarithmic
scale. This allows more granular information as the load is
higher.
* MCD.TTS (Truncated Timestamp): An 8-bit timestamp encoding the
time at which the packet egress the router.
- Each egress interface in the device is configured with a TTS
template.
- The TTS template defines the position of 8-bits to be selected
from the egress timestamp. Section 4 of this document
discusses the timestamp format used in path tracing.
- A Path Tracing Midpoint implementation MAY support one or more
TTS templates. Each TTS template provides a different time
precision.
- An operator configures an egress interface with a single TTS
template. The choice of the TTS template for a given interface
is based on the type of the link connected to that interface.
For example, an interface connected to DC link will have a
different TTS Template from an interface connected to
intercontinental or WAN link, as they have different precision
requirements.
4. Timestamp requirements
4.1. Timestamp format
Path Tracing uses a 64-bit timestamp format. [RFC8877] recommends
two 64-bit timestamp formats: 64-bit Truncated PTP timestamp format
and NTP 64-bit timestamp format. Path Tracing can work with both
formats indifferently.
4.2. Time synchronization
All routers across the network MUST have time-synchronization. PTP
[IEEE1588] and NTP [RFC5905] are example protocols that can be used
for time-synchronization.
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
5. PT Probing Instance
The controller configures a PT Probing Instance at the source node.
A PT Probing Instance is configured with the following parameters:
* SA: the source address of the PT probe. Typically, it is the
loopback address of the PT SRC.
* Session ID: A 16-bit value.
* Probe-rate: Number of probes per second to generate as part of
this PT Probing Instance. The probe-rate is the aggregate of the
probes generated across all the sweeping ranges.
* SRv6 SID List: The SRv6 SID list associated with the packet. The
last SID is the Sink node.
* DSCP value
* Hop-limit Value
* IPv6 Flow-Label sweeping range:
- If set, different Flow-Label values must be used in the probe
packets. It may be specified as a range of specific Flow-Label
values to enumerate, or it may be specified as the number of
different random Flow-Label values to use in a round-robin.
* HbH-PT size
* MTU sweeping range:
- If set, payload must be included at the end of the packet to
test different packet sizes.
6. PT Source Node Dataplane Behavior
For each configured PT Probing Instance, according to the probe-rate,
the PT SRC generates a PT probe packet as follows:
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
S01. Generate a new IPv6 packet
S02. Set the IPv6 SA as per PT Probing Instance configuration
S03. Set the IPv6 DA to the first SID from the SRv6 SID List
S04. Set the IPv6 Next Header field to zero (HbH)
S05. Set the DSCP and Flow Label values as per
PT Probing Instance configuration
S06. Append an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop header with HbH-PT
S07. Set all bits of the HbH-PT MCD Stack to zero
S08. IF SID List has more than one SID
S09. Append an SRH
S10. Set the Next Header field to 60 (IPv6 Destinations Options
header)
S11. Write the remaining SIDs of the SID list in the SRH
S12. Append an IPv6 Destinations Option header with DOH-PT
S13. Set the Next Header field of the IPv6 Destinations Options
Header to 59 (IPv6 No Next Header)
S14. Add padding bytes after the IPv6 Destinations Option header to
reach the desired packet size as per the MTU sweeping range
configuration
S15. Set the session ID field of the DOH-PT as per
PT Probing Instance configuration
S16. Perform an IPv6 FIB lookup to determine the Outgoing
Interface (IFACE-OUT) on which packet will be forwarded
S17. Record Transmit 64-bit timestamp (SRC.T64) in the T64 field
of the DOH-PT
S18. Record IFACE-OUT ID (SRC.OIF) in the IF_ID field
of the DOH-PT
S19. Record IFACE-OUT Load (SRC.OIL) in the IF_LD field
of the DOH-PT
S20. Forward the packet via IFACE-OUT
Notes:
* The pseudocode describes local processing at a node. An
implementation of the pseudocode is compliant as long as the
externally observable wire protocol is as described in the
pseudocode.
7. PT Midpoint Node Dataplane Behavior
When a midpoint node receives an IPv6 packet that contains an IPv6
HbH-PT option, the node processes the HbH-PT as follows:
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
S01. When processing HbH-PT option {
S02. Compute the MCD information as per Section 3
S03. HbH-PT.MCD_Stack[MCD_Size:HbH-PT.OPT_Data_Len-1] =
HbH-PT.MCD_Stack[0:HbH-PT.OPT_Data_Len-(MCD_Size+1)]
//Shift HbH-PT MCD Stack to the right by MCD_Size bytes
S04. HbH-PT.MCD_Stack[0:MCD_Size-1] = MCD[0:MCD_Size-1]
//Push the MCD at the beginning of the Stack
S05. }
Notes:
* The PT Midpoint behavior MUST be implemented in the normal
pipeline to experience the regular datapath (i.e., linerate with
full PPS and full BW). Offloading the processing of this option
to either the slow-path or a co-processors is not acceptable and
yields invalid results.
8. PT Sink Node Dataplane Behavior
We define a new SRv6 Endpoint Behavior called "Endpoint Behavior
bound to an SRv6 Policy with Timestamp, Encapsulation and Forward"
("End.B6.TEF" for short).
It is a Binding SID instantiated, at Sink nodes, that encapsulates
the packet with a new IPv6 header, an SRH that contains the SID list
associated to End.B6.TEF SID, and an IPv6 Destinations Option header
with DOH-PT that is used to carry Path Tracing information of Sink
node.
When N receives a packet whose IPv6 DA is S and S is a local
End.B6.TEF SID, N does the following:
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
S01. Record Rx 64-bit timestamp (SNK.T64)
S02. Record incoming interface ID (SNK.IIF)
S03. Record incoming interface Load (SNK.IIL)
S04. Push a new IPv6 header
S05. Set the IPv6 SA to the Sink node loopback
S06. Set the IPv6 DA to the first SID in the SRv6 SID List
S07. IF SID List has more than one SID
S08. Append an SRH
S09. Set the SRH Next Header field to 60 (IPv6 Destinations
Options header)
S10. Write the remaining SIDs of the SID list in the SRH
S11. Append an IPv6 Destinations Option header with DOH-PT
S12. Set the Next Header field of the IPv6 Destinations Options
Header to 41 (IPv6 header)
S13. Set the session ID field of the DOH-PT to zero
S14. Write SNK.T64 in the T64 field of the DOH-PT
S15. Write SNK.IIF in the IF_ID field of the DOH-PT
S16. Write SNK.IIL in the IF_LD field of the DPH-PT
S17. Submit the packet to the egress IPv6 FIB lookup for
transmission to the new destination
Notes:
* The pseudocode describes local processing at a node. An
implementation of the pseudocode is compliant as long as the
externally observable wire protocol is as described in the
pseudocode.
9. PT Headers
9.1. IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Path Tracing (HbH-PT)
This document defines a new IPv6 Option for Path Tracing to be
carried in the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Header. The option has the following
format:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Option Type | Opt Data Len |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
~ MCD Stack ~
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option for Path Tracing (HbH-PT)
Where:
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
* Option Type: TBA1-1
- The 3 high-order bits of the option must be set to 001
o 00: Skip HbH for nodes that don't support the HbH-PT Option
Type
o 1: update HbH-PT for nodes that support the HbH-PT Option
Type
* Opt Data Len: the length of the MCD stack in bytes.
* MCD Stack: metadata scratchpad where PT Midpoints record their
MCDs
Note: The HbH-PT has a variable length. It is RECOMMENDED that
implementations support a 38-octet HbH-PT Option. The operator, upon
configuring the Source node behavior, MUST select an option length
that is supported by all the routers in the network.
9.2. IPv6 Destination Option for Path Tracing (DOH-PT)
This document defines a new IPv6 Option for Path Tracing to be
carried in the IPv6 Destination Options Header. The option has the
following format:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Option Type | Opt Data Len |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
+ T64 +
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Session ID | IF_ID | IF_LD |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 2: IPv6 Destination Option for Path Tracing (DOH-PT)
Where:
* Option Type: TBA1-2
- The 3 high-order bits of the option must be set to 000
o 00: Skip the IPv6 Destination Options header for nodes that
don't support the DOH-PT Option Type
o 0: DOH-PT cannot be changed enroute
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
* Opt Data Len: the length of the DOH-PT in bytes (12).
* T64: 64-bit Timestamp
* Session ID: Session identifier set by SRC node generating the
probes. Used to co-relate probes of the same session. Value of
zero means unset.
* IF_ID: 12-bit Interface ID
* IF_LD: 4-bit Interface Load
Note: The DOH-PT is generated by both the PT SRC and the PT SNK.
When used at the PT SNK node, the Session ID field MUST be set to
zero.
10. Benefits
* Low overhead:
- A 40Byte Hop-By-Hop header allows for 14 hops path
measurements: 1 at the PT SRC, 12 at PT Midpoint routers and 1
at the PT SNK
- PT has the lowest MTU overhead compared to alternative
solutions such as [INT], [RFC9197],
[I-D.song-opsawg-ifit-framework], and [I-D.kumar-ippm-ifa].
* Linerate and HW friendliness:
- Implemented at linerate in current hardware, using the regular
forwarding pipeline. No offloading to co-processors or slow-
path whose databases might defer from forwarding pipeline.
- Leverages mature hardware capabilities (basic shift operation);
no packet resizing at every node along the path
- High number of diverse linerate interoperable hardware
Implementations (see Section 11)
* Scalable Fine-grained Timestamp:
- 64bit at PT SRC and PT SNK
- 8bit at PT Midpoint leveraging flexible per-outgoing-link
template allowing diverse link types in the same measurement
(e.g., DC, metro, WAN)
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
* Scalable Load measurement

12. Security Considerations
The security considerations for Segment Routing are discussed in
[RFC8402]. Section 5 of [RFC8754] describes the SR Deployment Model
and the requirements for securing the SR Domain. The security
considerations of [RFC8754] also cover topics such as attack vectors
and their mitigation mechanisms that also apply to the behaviors
introduced in this document. Together, they describe the required
security mechanisms that allow establishment of an SR domain of
Filsfils, et al. Expires 25 April 2024 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft Path Tracing October 2023
trust. Having such a well-defined trust boundary is necessary in
order to operate SRv6-based services for internal traffic while
preventing any external traffic from accessing or exploiting the
SRv6-based services.
This document defines the Path Tracing architecture, which is
deployed on a secured SRv6-domain. As such, all the security
considerations defined in [RFC8754], [RFC8402], and [RFC8986] are
applicable.
In addition, any border router in an SR Domain network where Path
Tracing is enabled, MUST support the configuration of the following
ACLs:
* If there is a packet coming from an external interface destined
towards an internal interface that contains an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop
header with a Path Tracing option, then such packet is silently
dropped.
* If there is a packet coming from an internal interface destined
towards an external interface that contains an IPv6 Hop-by-Hop
header with a Path Tracing option, then such packet is silently
dropped.
These ACLs SHOULD be enabled by default. An operator MAY disable
them individually based on local configuration.
The processing of IPv6 Hop-by-Hop headers could sometimes be used as
an attack vector to overload the CPU of the router. As defined in
Section 7 of this document, the HBH-PT option MUST be processed in
the router's fast path. Therefore, there is no impact on the
router's CPU.
13. IANA Considerations
This document requests the following IPv6 Option Type assignments
from the Destination Options and Hop-by-Hop Options sub-registry of
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Parameters.
