Something similar can be done by having the encapsulating node send a probe packet, as mentioned in the draft: "probe packets that are generated by the IOAM encapsulating node". I suggest to add a slightly clearer explanation, as follows: OLD: An IOAM encapsulating node configured to incorporate the DEX option encapsulates (possibly a subset of) the packets it forwards with the DEX option, and MAY export and/or collect the requested IOAM data immediately. Only IOAM encapsulating nodes are allowed to add the DEX option type to a packet. NEW: An IOAM encapsulating node configured to incorporate the DEX option encapsulates (possibly a subset of) the packets it forwards with the DEX option, and MAY export and/or collect the requested IOAM data immediately. Only IOAM encapsulating nodes are allowed to add the DEX option type to a packet. An IOAM encapsulating node can generate probe packets that incorporate the DEX option. These probe packets can be generated periodically or on-demand (for example triggered by the management plane). The specification of such probe packets is outside the scope of this document. > > Thank you very much > Linda Dunbar > > > -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
