Extensions to IOAM Trace Option for Carrying Fixed-Size Data
In situ Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) Trace-
Option data defined in RFC 9197 is a variable-length data, the length
of this kind of data varies with the number of transited IOAM-capable
nodes and the selection of data fields processed by each IOAM-capable
node. This document extends the IOAM Trace Option to carry a fixed-
size data, the length of this kind of data is fixed once the
selection of data fields processed by each IOAM-capable node is
determined, and doesn't vary with the number of transited IOAM-
capable nodes.
