Abstract:
IPsec is a mature technology with several interoperable
implementations. Indeed, the use of IPsec tunnels is increasingly
gaining popularity in several deployment scenarios, not the least in
what used to be solely areas of traditional telecommunication
protocols. Wider deployment calls for mechanisms and methods that
enable tunnel end-users, as well as operators, to measure one-way and
two-way network performance. Unfortunately, however, standard IP
performance measurement mechanisms cannot be readily used with IPsec.
This document makes the case for employing IPsec to protect O/TWAMP
and proposes a method which combines IKEv2 and O/TWAMP as defined in
RFC 4656 and RFC 5357, respectively. This specification aims, on the
one hand, to ensure that O/TWAMP can be secured well, while on the
other hand, it extends the applicability of O/TWAMP to networks that
have already deployed IPsec.
