ICMP extension to include underlay information
Network operators managing overlay networks require visibility into
underlay network hops during traceroute operations from overlay
endpoints. This document defines an ICMP extension object, the
Underlay Information Object (UIO), which allows underlay head-end
nodes to encapsulate underlay error information within ICMP error
messages. This mechanism provides overlay operators with crucial
visibility into underlay network paths for troubleshooting.
