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 IPsec deployment calls for mechanisms and methods
that enable tunnel end-users, as well as operators, to measure one-
way and two-way network performance in a standardized manner.
Unfortunately, however, standard IP performance measurement security
mechanisms cannot be readily used with IPsec. This document makes
the case for employing IPsec to protect the One-way and Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocols (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 with the best mechanisms we have at our
disposal today while, on the other hand, it facilitates the
applicability of O/TWAMP to networks that have already deployed
IPsec.
