Abstract:
For a number of Enterprise Data Center Operators (EDCO) both real-
time and after the fact problem resolution is critical. Two metrics
are critical for timely end-to-end problem resolution, without
impacting an operational production network. They are: packet
sequence number and packet timestamp. Packet sequence number is
required for diagnostics. Packet timestamp is required to calculate
end-to-end response time. Current methods are inadequate for these
purposes because they assume unreasonable access to intermediate
devices, are cost prohibitive, require infeasible changes to a
running production network, or do not provide timely data. This
document provides the background and rationale for the packet
sequence number which is a part of the IPv6 Performance and
Diagnostic Metrics Destination Option (PDM).
