In-Line Service Measurements: Exploiting IPv6 Extension Headers
Overview The ability to measure, monitor and control the service quality experienced by network traffic is becoming increasingly important as multiple traffic types are aggregated onto IP networks. This paper introduces a novel measurement technique for assessing performance metrics (e.g. one-way packet loss, delay, delay variation, and 'goodput') of IPv6 network flows. By exploiting native IPv6 extension headers, measurement triggers and measurement data are carried in the same packets as the payload data itself, providing a high level of probability that the behaviour of the real user traffic flows is being observed.
