IN-BAND PERFORMANCE LOSS MEASUREMENT IN IPV6/SRV6 SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKS

摘要

Techniques for in-band loss performance measurement are described. In one embodiment, a method includes assigning one of a first indicator or a second indicator to a first plurality of packets and transmitting the first plurality of packets over a first measurement interval. The method also includes receiving one or more packets and determining whether the received one or more packets are assigned the first indicator or the second indicator. The method further includes determining a loss measurement value for the first plurality of packets based on a difference between a number of packets measured by a first counter of a first network element and a number of packets measured by one of a first counter or a second counter of a second network element.
