Subject: [spring] A Light Weight iOAM in SRv6 to eliminate the large overhead of IOAM metadata

Hi iOAMers,

We proposed a light SRv6 iOAM method in SPRING: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-li-spring-light-weight-srv6-ioam-00

In our method, the IOAM data can reuse the space of SID list, which won't extend the length of header.

It may be a complementary solution to solve the problem of large overhead of IOAM packets, which is a pain for hardware.

Hope it help your discussion in IOAM side meetings.

Also copy to Spring and 6man since there two WGs are related to this draft.

Comments and questions are welcome!

Thanks,
Cheng
