Overview

Cisco In-band OAM for IPv6 (iOAM6) records information about the path an IPv6 packet takes while it traverses the network within a packet. A new IPv6 extension header introduced for this purpose complements current out-of-band OAM mechanisms based on ICMP with an in-band OAM mechanism for IPv6.
