IPv6 In-Situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance

[en] In-situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) is currently under standardization at the IETF. It allows for collecting telemetry and operational information along a path, within the data packet, as part of an existing (possibly additional) header. This paper introduces the very first implementation of IOAM for the Linux kernel with IPv6 as encapsulation protocol and discusses several use cases in which IOAM can find a suitable usage.
