Introduction 64 The Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) is defined in [RFC8175]. 65 It provides the exchange of link related control information between 66 DLEP peers. DLEP peers are comprised of a modem and a router. DLEP 67 defines a base set of mechanisms as well as support for possible 68 extensions. This document defines one such extension. 70 The base DLEP specification includes the Latency metric which 71 provides a single latency value on a link, which is implementation 72 dependent. This document adds the ability to relay the minimum and 73 maximum latency range seen on a link. The extension defined in this 74 document is referred to as "Latency Range". 76 This document defines a new DLEP Extension Type Value in Section 2 77 which is used to indicate the use of the extension, and one new DLEP 78 Data Item in Section 3. 80 1.1. Key Words 82 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 83 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and 84 "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 85 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all 86 capitals, as shown here. 88 2. Extension Usage and Identification 90 The use of the Latency Range Extension SHOULD be configurable. To 91 indicate that the Latency Range Extension is to be used, an 92 implementation MUST include the Latency Range Extension Type Value in 93 the Extensions Supported Data Item. The Extensions Supported Data 94 Item is sent and processed according to [RFC8175]. 96 Note: the usage of the extension defined in this document does not 97 impact processing associated with the Latency Data Item defined in 98 [RFC8175]. 100 The Latency Range Extension Type Value is TBA1, see Section 5. 102 3. Latency Range Data Item 104 The Latency Range Data Item serves much the same purpose as the 105 Latency Data Item defined in [RFC8175] with the addition of being 106 able to communicate the latency range that may be experienced by 107 traffic on a link. The Latency Range Data Item MAY be carried in any 108 message where the Latency Data Item [RFC8175] is allowed and is 109 carried as an additional data item. When present, the Latency Range 110 Data Item MUST be processed according to the same rules as the 111 Latency Data Item defined in [RFC8175]. 113 The format of the Latency Range Data Item is: 115 0 1 2 3 116 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 1 117 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 118 | Data Item Type | Length | 119 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 120 | Maximum Latency : 121 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 122 : Maximum Latency | 123 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 124 | Minimum Latency : 125 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 126 : Minimum Latency | 127 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 129 Data Item Type: TBA2 131 Length: 16 133 Maximum Latency: 135 A 64-bit unsigned integer, representing the longest transmission 136 delay, in microseconds, that a packet encounters as it is 137 transmitted over the link. 139 Minimum Latency: 141 A 64-bit unsigned integer, representing the shortest transmission 142 delay, in microseconds, that a packet encounters as it is 143 transmitted over the link. 145 4. Security Considerations 147 The extension introduces a new Data Item for the DLEP protocol. The 148 extension does not inherently introduce any additional threats above 149 those documented in [RFC8175]. The approach taken to Security in 150 that document applies equally when running the extension defined in 151 this document. 153 5. IANA Considerations 155 This document requests the assignment of 2 values by IANA. All 156 assignments are to registries defined by [RFC8175]. 158 5.1. Extension Type Value 160 This document requests one new assignment to the DLEP Extensions 161 Registry named "Extension Type Values" in the range with the 162 "Specification Required" policy. The requested value is as follows: 164 +------+---------------+ 165 | Code | Description | 166 +------+---------------+ 167 | TBA1 | Latency Range | 168 +------+---------------+ 170 Table 1: Requested Extension Type Value 172 5.2. Data Item Value 174 This document requests one new assignment to the DLEP Data Item 175 Registry named "Data Item Type Values" in the range with the 176 "Specification Required" policy. The requested values are as 177 follows: 179 +-----------+---------------+ 180 | Type Code | Description | 181 +-----------+---------------+ 182 | TBA2 | Latency Range | 183 +-----------+---------------+ 185 Table 2: Requested Data Item Values 187 6.
