In Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Direct Exporting

Overview

RFC 9326, “In Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Direct Exporting”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2022 by H. Song, B. Gafni, F. Brockners, S. Bhandari, T. Mizrahi. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is used for recording and collecting operational and telemetry information. Specifically, IOAM allows telemetry data to be pushed into data packets while they traverse the network. This document introduces a new IOAM option type (denoted IOAM-Option-Type) called the "IOAM Direct Export (DEX) Option-Type". This Option-Type is used as a trigger for IOAM data to be directly exported or locally aggregated without being pushed into in-flight data packets. The exporting method and format are outside the scope of this document.
