Abstract:
A method is provided to configure a communication network to perform telemetry of OAM data, implemented in a network management device. A packet flow ID is identified, and a head node and an end node for the packet flow are determined from the flow ID. A marking command is sent to the head node, causing it to mark some packets in the packet flow. An unmarking command is sent to the end node, causing it to unmark marked packets. A path configuration command is received, including a list of nodes through which a marked packet passed. A command is sent to the nodes in the list, configured to cause the nodes to collect specified OAM flow data relating to marked packets. Such data for an individual packet is received after being collected from the nodes in the list. The OAM flow data is used to improve performance of the network.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for configuring a network to perform postcard-based telemetry (PBT) of operations, administration, and management (OAM) data, implemented in a telemetry data collection device (TDCD), the method comprising:\n receiving a message from a node in a network, the message relating to receipt of a marked packet by the node, the message comprising a node identifier (ID) of the node, a packet flow ID of a packet flow, and time data relating to a time of the receipt of the packet by the node; adding the node ID to an ordered list of node IDs relating to the packet flow ID, the list ordered by time from a first node to receive the packet to a last node to receive the packet; and sending a path configuration command to a network management device (NMD) when the list is complete and no previous list of node IDs for the packet flow ID exists, the path configuration command comprising the ordered list of node IDs and configured to cause the NMD to configure the nodes identified in the list to send specified OAM flow data relating to marked packets in the packet flow to the TDCD.
