PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT IN A SEGMENT ROUTING NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18334208 Titled 'PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT IN A SEGMENT ROUTING NETWORK'

Simplified Explanation

This technology is about a method for testing the performance of a segment routing network. It involves generating and sending a special packet called a probing packet. This packet contains various headers and data that allow the network to measure and analyze its performance. The probing packet is sent from one network node to the next in the segment routing network.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present technology discloses generating and transmitting a probing packet for determining in-situ performance in a segment routing (SR) network. A packet is received at a SR network node having an IPv6 packet header, and a probing packet is generated that includes the IPv6 packet header, a segment routing header (SRH) extension header, and a UDP header structure and UDP data payload portion. The UDP payload portion includes an OAM header and a IOAM data structure. The probing packet is then transmitted to a next segment node in the SR network.
