Residence time is the variable part of the propagation delay of   timing and synchronization messages; knowing this delay for each   message allows for a more accurate determination of the delay to be   taken into account when applying the value included in a Precision   Time Protocol event message.Status of This Memo   This is an Internet Standards Track document.

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 20171.  Introduction   Time synchronization protocols, e.g., the Network Time Protocol   version 4 (NTPv4) [RFC5905] and the Precision Time Protocol version 2   (PTPv2) [IEEE.1588], define timing messages that can be used to   synchronize clocks across a network domain.  Measurement of the   cumulative time that one of these timing messages spends transiting   the nodes on the path from ingress node to egress node is termed   "residence time" and is used to improve the accuracy of clock   synchronization.  Residence time is the sum of the difference between   the time of receipt at an ingress interface and the time of   transmission from an egress interface for each node along the network   path from an ingress node to an egress node.  This document defines a   new Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) value and an associated   Residence Time Measurement (RTM) message that can be used in a   Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network to measure residence   time over a Label Switched Path (LSP).   This document describes RTM over an LSP signaled using RSVP-TE   [RFC3209].  Using RSVP-TE, the LSP's path can be either explicitly   specified or determined during signaling.  Although it is possible to   use RTM over an LSP instantiated using the Label Distribution   Protocol [RFC5036], that is outside the scope of this document.   Comparison with alternative proposed solutions such as   [TIMING-OVER-MPLS] is outside the scope of this document.1.1.  Conventions Used in This Document1.1.1.

Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inBCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all   capitals, as shown here.2.  Residence Time Measurement   "Packet Loss and Delay Measurement for MPLS Networks" [RFC6374] can   be used to measure one-way or two-way end-to-end propagation delay   over an LSP or a pseudowire (PW).  But these measurements are   insufficient for use in some applications, for example, time   synchronization across a network as defined in the PTP.  In PTPv2   [IEEE.1588], the residence time is accumulated in the correctionField   of the PTP event message, which is defined in [IEEE.1588] and   referred to as using a one-step clock, or in the associated follow-up   message (or Delay_Resp message associated with the Delay_Req   message), which is referred to as using a two-step clock (see the   detailed discussion inSection 2.1).   IEEE 1588 uses this residence time to correct for the transit times   of nodes on an LSP, effectively making the transit nodes transparent.   This document proposes a mechanism that can be used as one type of   on-path support for a clock synchronization protocol or can be used   to perform one-way measurement of residence time.  The proposed   mechanism accumulates residence time from all nodes that support this   extension along the path of a particular LSP in the Scratch Pad field   of an RTM message (Figure 1).  This value can then be used by the   egress node to update, for example, the correctionField of the PTP   event packet carried within the RTM message prior to performing its   PTP processing.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 20172.1.  One-Step Clock and Two-Step Clock Modes   One-step mode refers to the mode of operation where an egress   interface updates the correctionField value of an original event   message.  Two-step mode refers to the mode of operation where this   update is made in a subsequent follow-up message.   Processing of the follow-up message, if present, requires the   downstream endpoint to wait for the arrival of the follow-up message   in order to combine correctionField values from both the original   (event) message and the subsequent (follow-up) message.  In a similar   fashion, each two-step node needs to wait for the related follow-up   message, if there is one, in order to update that follow-up message   (as opposed to creating a new one).  Hence, the first node that uses   two-step mode MUST do two things:   1.  Mark the original event message to indicate that a follow-up       message will be forthcoming.  This is necessary in order to       *  Let any subsequent two-step node know that there is already a          follow-up message, and       *  Let the endpoint know to wait for a follow-up message.   2.  Create a follow-up message in which to put the RTM determined as       an initial correctionField value.   IEEE 1588v2 [IEEE.1588] defines this behavior for PTP messages.   Thus, for example, with reference to the PTP protocol, the PTPType   field identifies whether the message is a Sync message, Follow_up   message, Delay_Req message, or Delay_Resp message.  The 10-octet-long   Port ID field contains the identity of the source port [IEEE.1588],   that is, the specific PTP port of the boundary clock (BC) connected   to the MPLS network.  The Sequence ID is the sequence ID of the PTP   message carried in the Value field of the message.   PTP messages also include a bit that indicates whether or not a   follow-up message will be coming.  This bit MAY be set by a two-step   mode PTP device.  The value MUST NOT be unset until the original and   follow-up messages are combined by an endpoint (such as a BC).   For compatibility with PTP, RTM (when used for PTP packets) must   behave in a similar fashion.  It should be noted that the handling of   Sync event messages and of Delay_Req/Delay_Resp event messages that   cross a two-step RTM node is different.  The following outlines the   handling of a PTP Sync event message by the two-step RTM node.  The   details of handling Delay_Resp/Delay_Req PTP event messages by theMirsky, et al.

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   two-step RTM node are discussed inSection 2.1.1.  As a summary, a   two-step RTM-capable egress interface will need to examine the S bit   in the Flags field of the PTP sub-TLV (for RTM messages that indicate   they are for PTP), and -- if it is clear (set to zero) -- it MUST set   the S bit and create a follow-up PTP Type RTM message.  If the S bit   is already set, then the RTM-capable node MUST wait for the RTM   message with the PTP type of follow-up and matching originator and   sequence number to make the corresponding residence time update to   the Scratch Pad field.  The wait period MUST be reasonably bounded.   Thus, an RTM packet, containing residence time information relating   to an earlier packet, also contains information identifying that   earlier packet.   In practice, an RTM node operating in two-step mode behaves like a   two-step transparent clock.   A one-step-capable RTM node MAY elect to operate in either one-step   mode (by making an update to the Scratch Pad field of the RTM message   containing the PTP event message) or two-step mode (by making an   update to the Scratch Pad of a follow-up message when presence of a   follow-up is indicated), but it MUST NOT do both.   Two main subcases identified for an RTM node operating as a two-step   clock are described in the following sub-sections.2.1.1.  RTM with Two-Step Upstream PTP Clock   If any of the previous RTM-capable nodes or the previous PTP clock   (e.g., the BC connected to the first node) is a two-step clock and if   the local RTM-capable node is also operating a two-tep clock, the   residence time is added to the RTM packet that has been created to   include the second PTP packet (i.e., the follow-up message in the   downstream direction).  This RTM packet carries the related   accumulated residence time, the appropriate values of the Sequence ID   and Port ID (the same identifiers carried in the original packet),   and the two-step flag set to 1.   Note that the fact that an upstream RTM-capable node operating in   two-step mode has created a follow-up message does not require any   subsequent RTM-capable node to also operate in two-step mode, as long   as that RTM-capable node forwards the follow-up message on the same   LSP on which it forwards the corresponding previous message.   A one-step-capable RTM node MAY elect to update the RTM follow-up   message as if it were operating in two-step mode; however, it MUST   NOT update both messages.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   A PTP Sync packet is carried in the RTM packet in order to indicate   to the RTM node that RTM must be performed on that specific packet.   To handle the residence time of the Delay_Req message in the upstream   direction, an RTM packet must be created to carry the residence time   in the associated downstream Delay_Resp message.   The last RTM node of the MPLS network, in addition to updating the   correctionField of the associated PTP packet, must also react   properly to the two-step flag of the PTP packets.2.1.2.  Two-Step RTM with One-Step Upstream PTP Clock   When the PTP network connected to the MPLS operates in one-step clock   mode and an RTM node operates in two-step mode, the follow-up RTM   packet must be created by the RTM node itself.  The RTM packet   carrying the PTP event packet needs now to indicate that a follow-up   message will be coming.   The egress RTM-capable node of the LSP will remove RTM encapsulation   and, in case of two-step clock mode being indicated, will generate   PTP messages to include the follow-up correction as appropriate   (according to [IEEE.1588]).  In this case, the common header of the   PTP packet carrying the synchronization message would have to be   modified by setting the twoStepFlag field indicating that there is   now a follow-up message associated to the current message.3.  G-ACh for Residence Time Measurement   [RFC5586] and [RFC6423] define the G-ACh to extend the applicability   of the Pseudowire Associated Channel Header (ACH) [RFC5085] to LSPs.   G-ACh provides a mechanism to transport OAM and other control   messages over an LSP.  Processing of these messages by selected   transit nodes is controlled by the use of the Time-to-Live (TTL)   value in the MPLS header of these messages.   The message format for RTM is presented in Figure 1.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   o  The PTPType field indicates the type of PTP packet to which this      PTP sub-TLV applies.  PTPType is the messageType field of a PTPv2      packet with possible values defined in Table 19 of [IEEE.1588].   o  The 10-octet-long Port ID field contains the identity of the      source port.   o  The Sequence ID is the sequence ID of the PTP message to which      this PTP sub-TLV applies.   A tuple of PTPType, Port ID, and Sequence ID uniquely identifies the   PTP timing message included in an RTM message and is used in two-step   RTM mode; seeSection 2.1.1.3.2.  PTP Associated Value Field   The Value field (see Figure 1) -- in addition to the PTP sub-TLV --   MAY carry a packet of the PTP Time synchronization protocol (as was   identified by the Type field).  It is important to note that the   timing message packet may be authenticated or encrypted and carried   over this LSP unchanged (and inaccessible to intermediate RTM capable   LSRs) while the residence time is accumulated in the Scratch Pad   field.   The LSP ingress RTM-capable LSR populates the identifying tuple   information of the PTP sub-TLV (seesection 3.1) prior to including   the (possibly authenticated/encrypted) PTP message packet after the   PTP sub-TLV in the Value field of the RTM message for an RTM message   of the PTP Type (Type 1; seeSection 7.3).4.  Control-Plane Theory of Operation   The operation of RTM depends upon TTL expiry to deliver an RTM packet   from one RTM-capable interface to the next along the path from   ingress node to egress node.  This means that a node with RTM-capable   interfaces MUST be able to compute a TTL, which will cause the expiry   of an RTM packet at the next node with RTM-capable interfaces.4.1.  RTM Capability   Note that the RTM capability of a node is with respect to the pair of   interfaces that will be used to forward an RTM packet.  In general,   the ingress interface of this pair must be able to capture the   arrival time of the packet and encode it in some way such that this   information will be available to the egress interface of a node.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   The supported mode (one-step or two-step) of any pair of interfaces   is determined by the capability of the egress interface.  For both   modes, the egress interface implementation MUST be able to determine   the precise departure time of the same packet and determine from   this, and the arrival time information from the corresponding ingress   interface, the difference representing the residence time for the   packet.   An interface with the ability to do this and update the associated   Scratch Pad in real time (i.e., while the packet is being forwarded)   is said to be one-step capable.   Hence, while both ingress and egress interfaces are required to   support RTM for the pair to be RTM capable, it is the egress   interface that determines whether or not the node is one-step or two-   step capable with respect to the interface pair.   The RTM capability used in the sub-TLV shown in Figures 4 and 5 is   thus a non-routing-related capability associated with the interface   being advertised based on its egress capability.  The ability of any   pair of interfaces on a node that includes this egress interface to   support any mode of RTM depends on the ability of the ingress   interface of a node to record packet arrival time and convey it to   the egress interface on the node.   When a node uses an IGP to support the RTM capability advertisement,   the IGP sub-TLV MUST reflect the RTM capability (one-step or two-   step) associated with the advertised interface.  Changes of RTM   capability are unlikely to be frequent and would result, for example,   from the operator's decision to include or exclude a particular port   from RTM processing or switch between RTM modes.4.2.  RTM Capability Sub-TLV   [RFC4202] explains that the Interface Switching Capability Descriptor   describes the switching capability of an interface.  For   bidirectional links, the switching capabilities of an interface are   defined to be the same in either direction, that is, for data   entering the node through that interface and for data leaving the   node through that interface.  That principle SHOULD be applied when a   node advertises RTM capability.   A node that supports RTM MUST be able to act in two-step mode and MAY   also support one-step RTM mode.  A detailed discussion of one-step   and two-step RTM modes is contained inSection 2.1.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RSVP-TE Control-Plane Operation to Support RTM   Throughout this document, we refer to a node as an RTM-capable node   when at least one of its interfaces is RTM capable.  Figure 6   provides an example of roles a node may have with respect to RTM   capability:    -----     -----     -----     -----     -----     -----     -----    | A |-----| B |-----| C |-----| D |-----| E |-----| F |-----| G |    -----     -----     -----     -----     -----     -----     -----                        Figure 6: RTM-Capable Roles   o  A is a boundary clock with its egress port in Master state.  Node      A transmits IP-encapsulated timing packets whose destination IP      address is G.   o  B is the ingress Label Edge Router (LER) for the MPLS LSP and is      the first RTM-capable node.  It creates RTM packets, and in each      it places a timing packet, possibly encrypted, in the Value field      and initializes the Scratch Pad field with its RTM.   o  C is a transit node that is not RTM capable.  It forwards RTM      packets without modification.   o  D is an RTM-capable transit node.  It updates the Scratch Pad      field of the RTM packet without updating the timing packet.   o  E is a transit node that is not RTM capable.  It forwards RTM      packets without modification.   o  F is the egress LER and the last RTM-capable node.  It removes the      RTM ACH encapsulation and processes the timing packet carried in      the Value field using the value in the Scratch Pad field.  In      particular, the value in the Scratch Pad field of the RTM ACH is      used in updating the Correction field of the PTP message(s).  The      LER should also include its own residence time before creating the      outgoing PTP packets.  The details of this process depend on      whether or not the node F is itself operating as a one-step or      two-step clock.   o  G is a boundary clock with its ingress port in Slave state.  Node      G receives PTP messages.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   An ingress node that is configured to perform RTM along a path   through an MPLS network to an egress node MUST verify that the   selected egress node has an interface that supports RTM via the   egress node's advertisement of the RTM Capability sub-TLV, as covered   inSection 4.3.  In the Path message that the ingress node uses to   instantiate the LSP to that egress node, it places an LSP_ATTRIBUTES   object [RFC5420] with an RTM_SET Attribute Flag set, as described inSection 7.8, which indicates to the egress node that RTM is requested   for this LSP.  The RTM_SET Attribute Flag SHOULD NOT be set in the   LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES object [RFC5420], unless it is known that all   nodes recognize the RTM attribute (but need not necessarily implement   it), because a node that does not recognize the RTM_SET Attribute   Flag would reject the Path message.   If an egress node receives a Path message with the RTM_SET Attribute   Flag in an LSP_ATTRIBUTES object, the egress node MUST include an   initialized RRO [RFC3209] and LSP_ATTRIBUTES object where the RTM_SET   Attribute Flag is set and the RTM_SET TLV (Section 4.4.1) is   initialized.  When the Resv message is received by the ingress node,   the RTM_SET TLV will contain an ordered list, from egress node to   ingress node, of the RTM-capable nodes along the LSP's path.   After the ingress node receives the Resv, it MAY begin sending RTM   packets on the LSP's path.  Each RTM packet has its Scratch Pad field   initialized and its TTL set to expire on the closest downstream RTM-   capable node.   It should be noted that RTM can also be used for LSPs instantiated   using [RFC3209] in an environment in which all interfaces in an IGP   support RTM.  In this case, the RTM_SET TLV and LSP_ATTRIBUTES object   MAY be omitted.4.4.1.  RTM_SET TLV   RTM-capable interfaces can be recorded via the RTM_SET TLV.  The   RTM_SET sub-object format is a generic TLV format, presented in   Figure 7.     0                   1                   2                   3     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+    |     Type      |     Length    |I|         Reserved            |    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+    ~                             Value                             ~    |                                                               |    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                       Figure 7: RTM_SET TLV FormatMirsky, et al.

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   Type value (5) has been assigned by IANA in the RSVP-TE "Attributes   TLV Space" sub-registry (seeSection 7.7).   The Length contains the total length of the sub-object in bytes,   including the Type and Length fields.   The I bit indicates whether the downstream RTM-capable node along the   LSP is present in the RRO.   The Reserved field must be zeroed on initiation and ignored on   receipt.   The content of an RTM_SET TLV is a series of variable-length   sub-TLVs.  Only a single RTM_SET can be present in a given   LSP_ATTRIBUTES object.  The sub-TLVs are defined inSection 4.4.1.1.   The following processing procedures apply to every RTM-capable node   along the LSP.  In this paragraph, an RTM-capable node is referred to   as a node for sake of brevity.  Each node MUST examine the Resv   message for whether the RTM_SET Attribute Flag in the LSP_ATTRIBUTES   object is set.  If the RTM_SET flag is set, the node MUST inspect the   LSP_ATTRIBUTES object for presence of an RTM_SET TLV.  If more than   one is found, then the LSP setup MUST fail with generation of the   ResvErr message with Error Code "Duplicate TLV" (Section 7.9) and   Error Value that contains the Type value in its 8 least significant   bits.  If no RTM_SET TLV is found, then the LSP setup MUST fail with   generation of the ResvErr message with Error Code "RTM_SET TLV   Absent" (Section 7.9).  If one RTM_SET TLV has been found, the node   will use the ID of the first node in the RTM_SET in conjunction with   the RRO to compute the hop count to its downstream node with a   reachable RTM-capable interface.  If the node cannot find a matching   ID in the RRO, then it MUST try to use the ID of the next node in the   RTM_SET until it finds the match or reaches the end of the RTM_SET   TLV.  If a match has been found, the calculated value is used by the   node as the TTL value in the outgoing label to reach the next RTM-   capable node on the LSP.  Otherwise, the TTL value MUST be set to   255.  The node MUST add an RTM_SET sub-TLV with the same address it   used in the RRO sub-object at the beginning of the RTM_SET TLV in the   associated outgoing Resv message before forwarding it upstream.  If   the calculated TTL value has been set to 255, as described above,   then the I flag in the node's RTM_SET TLV MUST be set to 1 before the   Resv message is forwarded upstream.  Otherwise, the I flag MUST be   cleared (0).   The ingress node MAY inspect the I bit received in each RTM_SET TLV   contained in the LSP_ATTRIBUTES object of a received Resv message.   The presence of the RTM_SET TLV with the I bit set to 1 indicates   that some RTM nodes along the LSP could not be included in theMirsky, et al.

An ingress node MAY choose to   resignal the LSP to include all RTM nodes or simply notify the user   via a management interface.   There are scenarios when some information is removed from an RRO due   to policy processing (e.g., as may happen between providers) or the   RRO is limited due to size constraints.  Such changes affect the core   assumption of this method and the processing of RTM packets.  RTM   SHOULD NOT be used if it is not guaranteed that the RRO contains   complete information.4.4.1.1.  RTM_SET Sub-TLVs   The RTM Set sub-object contains an ordered list, from egress node to   ingress node, of the RTM-capable nodes along the LSP's path.   The contents of an RTM_SET sub-object are a series of variable-length   sub-TLVs.  Each sub-TLV has its own Length field.  The Length   contains the total length of the sub-TLV in bytes, including the Type   and Length fields.  The Length MUST always be a multiple of 4, and at   least 8 (smallest IPv4 sub-object).   Sub-TLVs are organized as a last-in-first-out stack.  The first-out   sub-TLV relative to the beginning of RTM_SET TLV is considered the   top.  The last-out sub-TLV is considered the bottom.  When a new   sub-TLV is added, it is always added to the top.   The RTM_SET TLV is intended to include the subset of the RRO sub-TLVs   that represent those egress interfaces on the LSP that are RTM   capable.  After a node chooses an egress interface to use in the RRO   sub-TLV, that same egress interface, if RTM capable, SHOULD be placed   into the RTM_SET TLV using one of the following: IPv4 sub-TLV, IPv6   sub-TLV, or Unnumbered Interface sub-TLV.  The address family chosen   SHOULD match that of the RESV message and that used in the RRO; the   unnumbered interface sub-TLV is used when the egress interface has no   assigned IP address.  A node MUST NOT place more sub-TLVs in the   RTM_SET TLV than the number of RTM-capable egress interfaces the LSP   traverses that are under that node's control.  Only a single RTM_SET   sub-TLV with the given Value field MUST be present in the RTM_SET   TLV.  If more than one sub-TLV with the same value (e.g., a   duplicated address) is found, the LSP setup MUST fail with the   generation of a ResvErr message with the Error Code "Duplicate   sub-TLV" (Section 7.9) and the Error Value containing a 16-bit value   composed of (Type of TLV, Type of sub-TLV).   Three kinds of sub-TLVs for RTM_SET are currently defined.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 18]

Data-Plane Theory of Operation   After instantiating an LSP for a path using RSVP-TE [RFC3209] as   described inSection 4.4, the ingress node MAY begin sending RTM   packets to the first downstream RTM-capable node on that path.  Each   RTM packet has its Scratch Pad field initialized and its TTL set to   expire on the next downstream RTM-capable node.  Each RTM-capable   node on the explicit path receives an RTM packet and records the time   at which it receives that packet at its ingress interface as well as   the time at which it transmits that packet from its egress interface.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 20]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   These actions should be done as close to the physical layer as   possible at the same point of packet processing, striving to avoid   introducing the appearance of jitter in propagation delay whereas it   should be accounted as residence time.  The RTM-capable node   determines the difference between those two times; for one-step   operation, this difference is determined just prior to or while   sending the packet, and the RTM-capable egress interface adds it to   the value in the Scratch Pad field of the message in progress.  Note,   for the purpose of calculating a residence time, a common free   running clock synchronizing all the involved interfaces may be   sufficient, as, for example, 4.6 ppm accuracy leads to a 4.6   nanosecond error for residence time on the order of 1 millisecond.   This may be acceptable for applications where the target accuracy is   in the order of hundreds of nanoseconds.  As an example, several   applications being considered in the area of wireless applications   are satisfied with an accuracy of 1.5 microseconds [ITU-T.G.8271].   For two-step operation, the difference between packet arrival time   (at an ingress interface) and subsequent departure time (from an   egress interface) is determined at some later time prior to sending a   subsequent follow-up message, so that this value can be used to   update the correctionField in the follow-up message.   SeeSection 2.1 for further details on the difference between one-   step and two-step operation.   The last RTM-capable node on the LSP MAY then use the value in the   Scratch Pad field to perform time correction, if there is no   follow-up message.  For example, the egress node may be a PTP   boundary clock synchronized to a Master Clock and will use the value   in the Scratch Pad field to update PTP's correctionField.6.  Applicable PTP Scenarios   This approach can be directly integrated in a PTP network based on   the IEEE 1588 delay request-response mechanism.  The RTM-capable   nodes act as end-to-end transparent clocks, and boundary clocks, at   the edges of the MPLS network, typically use the value in the Scratch   Pad field to update the correctionField of the corresponding PTP   event packet prior to performing the usual PTP processing.Mirsky, et al.

Security Considerations   Routers that support RTM are subject to the same security   considerations as defined in [RFC4385] and [RFC5085].   In addition -- particularly as applied to use related to PTP -- there   is a presumed trust model that depends on the existence of a trusted   relationship of at least all PTP-aware nodes on the path traversed by   PTP messages.  This is necessary as these nodes are expected to   correctly modify specific content of the data in PTP messages, and   proper operation of the protocol depends on this ability.  In   practice, this means that those portions of messages cannot be   covered by either confidentiality or integrity protection.  Though   there are methods that make it possible in theory to provide either   or both such protections and still allow for intermediate nodes to   make detectable but authenticated modifications, such methods do not   seem practical at present, particularly for timing protocols that are   sensitive to latency and/or jitter.Mirsky, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 26]

RFC 8169               Residence Time Measurement               May 2017   The ability to potentially authenticate and/or encrypt RTM and PTP   data for scenarios both with and without participation of   intermediate RTM-/PTP-capable nodes is left for further study.   While it is possible for a supposed compromised node to intercept and   modify the G-ACh content, this is an issue that exists for nodes in   general -- for any and all data that may be carried over an LSP --   and is therefore the basis for an additional presumed trust model   associated with existing LSPs and nodes.
