This document outlines the requirements and proposed solutions for a Generic Tunnel Tracing Protocol (GTTP) designed to enhance the tracing of tunnels within a network. It covers both nested and heterogeneous tunnels, ensuring compatibility across different data and control planes. The proposal operates in multiple phases: the first phase identifies the top-level IP path, while subsequent phases may uncover supporting tunnels. The GTTP solution includes secure, stateless operation with probes that provide detailed responses, offering more information than traditional ICMP messages.

Two Drafts • Requirements • draft-ietf-ccamp-tracereq-00 • WG draft • Proposed Solution • draft-bonica-tunproto-03 • individual contribution
Requirements Draft • Common • any kind of tunnel • nested tunnels • heterogeneous tunnels • Traces through data plane, control plane or both • Secure • Stateless
Proposed Solution • Generic Tunnel Tracing Protocol (GTTP) • Similar to traceroute • Probes and Responses • Response carries more information than ICMP Time Expired Message • Operates in phases • First phase discovers top level IP path • Top level details include identifier for supporting tunnels • Second phase discovers supporting tunnels • Additional phases if required
