Introduction The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) [RFC4656] was prepared to support measurements of metrics specified by the IP Performance Metrics (IPPM) working group in the IETF. The Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) [RFC5357] is an extension of OWAMP. The TWAMP specification gathered wide review as it approached completion, and the by-products were several recommendations for new features in TWAMP. As a result, a registry of new features was established for TWAMP. However, there were no new features proposed for OWAMP until recently [RFC7717]. This memo establishes the needed registries for OWAMP and updates [RFC4656].1.1. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inRFC 2119 [RFC2119].Morton Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 7718 OWAMP Registries December 20152. Purpose and Scope The purpose and scope of this memo is to describe and request the establishment of registries for future OWAMP [RFC4656] extensions. IANA already administers the "Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) Parameters", and this request follows a similar form (with one exception identified below). This memo also provides the initial contents for the OWAMP registries.3. IANA Considerations for OWAMP-Control Registries The OWAMP-Control protocol coordinates the measurement capability. All OWAMP-Control messages follow specifications defined inSection 3 of [RFC4656].3.1. Control Command Number Registry IANA has created an OWAMP-Control Command Number registry. OWAMP-Control Commands follow specifications defined inSection 3.4 of [RFC4656].3.1.1. Registry Specification OWAMP-Control Command Numbers are specified in the first octet of OWAMP-Control-Client command messages consistent withSection 3 of [RFC4656]. There are a maximum of 256 command numbers.3.1.2. Registry Management Because the "OWAMP-Control Command Numbers" registry can contain only 256 values, and because OWAMP is an IETF protocol, these registries MUST be updated only by "IETF Review" as specified in [RFC5226] (an RFC that documents registry use and is approved by the IESG).3.1.3. Experimental Numbers One experimental value is currently assigned in the Command Numbers Registry, as indicated in the initial contents below.3.1.4. OWAMP-Control Command Numbers Initial Contents OWAMP-Control Commands follows the procedure defined inSection 3.5 of [RFC4656] and in the remainder ofSection 3 of that document.Morton Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7718 OWAMP Registries December 2015 The complete set of OWAMP-Control Command Numbers are as follows (including two reserved values): OWAMP-Control Command Numbers Value Description Semantics Reference Definition ========================================================== 0 ReservedSection 3.1.4RFC 7718 1 Request-SessionSection 3.5RFC 4656 2 Start-SessionsSection 3.7RFC 4656 3 Stop-SessionsSection 3.8RFC 4656 4 Fetch-SessionsSection 3.9RFC 4656 5-253 Unassigned 254 ExperimentationSection 3.1.4RFC 7718 255 ReservedSection 3.1.4RFC 77183.2. OWAMP-Modes IANA has created an OWAMP-Modes registry.3.2.1. Registry Specification OWAMP-Modes are specified in OWAMP Server Greeting messages and Set- up Response messages consistent withSection 3.1 of [RFC4656]. Modes are currently indicated by setting single bits in the 32-bit Modes field. However, more complex encoding may be used in the future.3.2.2. Registry Management Because the "OWAMP-Modes" are based on only 32 bit positions with each position conveying a unique feature, and because OWAMP is an IETF protocol, these registries MUST be updated only by "IETF Review" as specified in [RFC5226] (an RFC that documents registry use and is approved by the IESG). IANA SHOULD allocate monotonically increasing bit positions when requested.3.2.3. Experimental Numbers No experimental bit positions are currently assigned in the Modes registry, as indicated in the initial contents below.3.2.4. OWAMP-Modes Initial Contents OWAMP-Control connection establishment follows the procedure defined inSection 3.1 of [RFC4656].Morton Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7718 OWAMP Registries December 2015 In the OWAMP-Modes registry, assignments are straightforward on the basis of bit positions, and there are no references to values -- this is a difference from the comparable TWAMP registry (and a topic for improvement in the TWAMP-Modes registry that is reconciled in [RFC7717]). An extension of the OWAMP-Modes is proposed in [RFC7717]. With this extension, the complete set of OWAMP Mode bit positions are as follows (including one reserved bit position): OWAMP-Modes Bit Semantics Pos. Description Definition Reference ======================================================= 0 UnauthenticatedSection 3.1RFC 4656 1 AuthenticatedSection 3.1RFC 4656 2 EncryptedSection 3.1RFC 4656 3 ReservedSection 3.2.4RFC 7718 ------------------------------------------------------ 4 IKEv2-derived SharedSection 3.2.4RFC 7718 Secret Key ofRFC 7718, Section 5 of RFC 7717 ofRFC 7717 ------------------------------------------------------ 5-31 Unassigned In the original OWAMP Modes field, setting bit position 0, 1, or 2 indicated the security mode of the Control protocol, and the Test protocol inherited the same mode (seeSection 4 of [RFC4656]). The value of the Modes field sent by the Server in the Server- Greeting message is the bit-wise OR of the modes (bit positions) that it is willing to support during this session. Thus, the five least significant bits of the 32-bit Modes field are used. When no other features are activated, the 27 most significant bits MUST be zero. A Control-Client conforming to [RFC4656] MAY ignore the values in the 29 most significant bits of the Modes field, or it MAY support features that are communicated in other bit positions, such as the IKEv2-derived Shared Secret Key extension [RFC7717]. OWAMP and TWAMP registries for Modes may grow to contain different features and functions due to the inherent differences in one-way and two-way measurement configurations and the metrics they measure. No attempt will be made to coordinate them unnecessarily, except for the Reserved bit position 3 above. This is available for assignment if a mixed security mode similar to [RFC5618] is defined for OWAMP; it would allow alignment with the comparable TWAMP feature.Morton Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7718 OWAMP Registries December 20154. Security Considerations As this memo simply documents the creation of OWAMP registries, it presents no new security or privacy issues for the Internet. The security considerations that apply to any active measurement of live networks are relevant here as well. See [RFC4656] and [RFC5357]. Privacy considerations for measurement systems, particularly when Internet users participate in the tests in some way, are described in [RFC7594].5. References5.1.

We thought Spencer Dawkins caught the last of the small errors in his AD review, but Nevil Brownlee found a few more during OPS-DIR review. Roni Even found our use of "IETF Consensus" was out of date with [RFC5226]. Michelle Cotton helped to clarify the IANA considerations.Author's Address Al Morton AT&T Labs 200 Laurel Avenue South Middletown,, NJ 07748 United States Phone: +1 732 420 1571 Fax: +1 732 368 1192 Email: acmorton@att.com URI:http://home.comcast.net/~acmacm/Morton Standards Track [Page 7]
