This patch provides the IPv6 IOAM option header [1] as well as the IOAM Trace header [2]. An IOAM option must be 4n-aligned. Here is an overview of a Hop-by-Hop with an IOAM Trace option: +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Next header | Hdr Ext Len | Padding | Padding | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Option Type | Opt Data Len | Reserved | IOAM Type | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Namespace-ID | NodeLen | Flags | RemainingLen| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IOAM-Trace-Type | Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ | | | | node data [n] | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ D | | a | node data [n-1] | t | | a +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ~ ... ~ S +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ p | | a | node data [1] | c | | e +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | | | | node data [0] | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<-+ The IOAM option header starts at "Option Type" and ends after "IOAM Type". The IOAM Trace header starts at "Namespace-ID" and ends after "IOAM-Trace-Type/Reserved". IOAM Type: either Pre-allocated Trace (=0), Incremental Trace (=1), Proof-of-Transit (=2) or Edge-to-Edge (=3). Note that both the Pre-allocated Trace and the Incremental Trace look the same. The two others are not implemented. Namespace-ID: IOAM namespace identifier, not to be confused with network namespaces. It adds further context to IOAM options and associated data, and allows devices which are IOAM capable to determine whether IOAM options must be processed or ignored. It can also be used by an operator to distinguish different operational domains or to identify different sets of devices. NodeLen: Length of data added by each node. It depends on the Trace Type. Flags: Only the Overflow (O) flag for now. The O flag is set by a transit node when there are not enough octets left to record its data. RemainingLen: Remaining free space to record data. IOAM-Trace-Type: Bit field where each bit corresponds to a specific kind of IOAM data. See [2] for a detailed list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
