UDP Checksum Complement in
the One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and
Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)
Abstract
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) and the Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) are used for performance
monitoring in IP networks. Delay measurement is performed in these
protocols by using timestamped test packets. Some implementations
use hardware-based timestamping engines that integrate the accurate
transmission time into every outgoing OWAMP/TWAMP test packet during
transmission. Since these packets are transported over UDP, the UDP
Checksum field is then updated to reflect this modification. This
document proposes to use the last 2 octets of every test packet as a
Checksum Complement, allowing timestamping engines to reflect the
checksum modification in the last 2 octets rather than in the UDP
Checksum field. The behavior defined in this document is completely
interoperable with existing OWAMP/TWAMP implementations.

RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
1. Introduction
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol [OWAMP] and the Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocol [TWAMP] are used for performance
monitoring in IP networks.
Delay and delay variation are two of the metrics that OWAMP/TWAMP can
measure. Measurement is performed using timestamped test packets.
In some use cases, such as carrier networks, these two metrics are an
essential aspect of the Service Level Agreement (SLA) and therefore
must be measured with a high degree of accuracy. If packets are
timestamped in hardware as they exit the host, then greater accuracy
is possible in comparison to higher-layer timestamps (as explained
further below).
The accuracy of delay measurements relies on the timestamping method
and its implementation. In order to facilitate accurate
timestamping, an implementation can use a hardware-based timestamping
engine, as shown in Figure 1. In such cases, the OWAMP/TWAMP packets
are sent and received by a software layer, whereas the timestamping
engine modifies every outgoing test packet by incorporating its
accurate transmission time into the Timestamp field in the packet.

Figure 1: Accurate Timestamping in OWAMP/TWAMP
OWAMP/TWAMP test packets are transported over UDP. When the UDP
payload is changed by an intermediate entity such as the timestamping
engine, the UDP Checksum field must be updated to reflect the new
payload. When using UDP over IPv4 [UDP], an intermediate entity that
cannot update the value of the UDP Checksum has no choice except to
assign a value of zero to the Checksum field, causing the receiver to
ignore the Checksum field and potentially accept corrupted packets.
UDP over IPv6, as defined in [IPv6], does not allow a zero checksum,
except in specific cases [ZeroChecksum]. As discussed in
[ZeroChecksum], the use of a zero checksum is generally not
recommended and should be avoided to the extent possible.
Since an intermediate entity only modifies a specific field in the
packet, i.e., the Timestamp field, the UDP Checksum update can be
performed incrementally, using the concepts presented in [Checksum].
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 4]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
A similar problem is addressed in Annex E of [IEEE1588]. When the
Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is transported over IPv6, 2 octets are
appended to the end of the PTP payload for UDP Checksum updates. The
value of these 2 octets can be updated by an intermediate entity,
causing the value of the UDP Checksum field to remain correct.
This document defines a similar concept for [OWAMP] and [TWAMP],
allowing intermediate entities to update OWAMP/TWAMP test packets and
maintain the correctness of the UDP Checksum by modifying the last
2 octets of the packet.
The term "Checksum Complement" is used throughout this document and
refers to the 2 octets at the end of the UDP payload, used for
updating the UDP Checksum by intermediate entities.
The usage of the Checksum Complement can in some cases simplify the
implementation, because if the packet data is processed in serial
order, it is simpler to first update the Timestamp field and then
update the Checksum Complement, rather than to update the timestamp
and then update the UDP Checksum residing at the UDP header.
The Checksum Complement mechanism is also defined for the Network
Time Protocol in [RFC7821].

3. Using the UDP Checksum Complement in OWAMP and TWAMP
3.1. Overview
The UDP Checksum Complement is a 2-octet field that is piggybacked at
the end of the test packet. It resides in the last 2 octets of the
UDP payload.

Figure 2: Checksum Complement in OWAMP/TWAMP Test Packets
The Checksum Complement is used to compensate for changes performed
in the packet by intermediate entities, as described in the
Introduction (Section 1). An example of the usage of the Checksum
Complement is provided in Appendix A.
3.2. OWAMP/TWAMP Test Packets with Checksum Complement
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol [OWAMP] and the Two-Way
Active Measurement Protocol [TWAMP] both make use of timestamped test
packets. A Checksum Complement MAY be used in the following cases:
o In OWAMP test packets sent by the sender to the receiver.
o In TWAMP test packets sent by the sender to the reflector.
o In TWAMP test packets sent by the reflector to the sender.
OWAMP/TWAMP test packets are transported over UDP, either over IPv4
or over IPv6. This document applies to both OWAMP and TWAMP over
IPv4 and over IPv6.
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 6]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
OWAMP/TWAMP test packets contain a Packet Padding field. This
document proposes to use the last 2 octets of the Packet Padding
field as the Checksum Complement. In this case, the Checksum
Complement is always the last 2 octets of the UDP payload, and thus
the field is located at (UDP Length - 2 octets) after the beginning
of the UDP header.
Figure 3 illustrates the OWAMP test packet format, including the UDP
Checksum Complement.

Figure 4: Checksum Complement in TWAMP Test Packets
The length of the Packet Padding field in test packets is announced
during the session initiation through the <Padding Length> field in
the Request-Session message [OWAMP] or in the Request-TW-Session
message [TWAMP].
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 8]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
When a Checksum Complement is included, the padding length MUST be
sufficiently long to include the Checksum Complement:
o In OWAMP, the padding length is at least 2 octets, allowing the
sender to incorporate the Checksum Complement in the last 2 octets
of the padding.
o In TWAMP, the padding length is at least 29 octets in
unauthenticated mode and at least 58 octets in authenticated mode.
The additional padding is required, since the header of reflector
test packets is longer than the header of sender test packets.
The difference between the sender packet and the reflector packet
is 27 octets in unauthenticated mode and 56 octets in
authenticated mode. Thus, the padding in reflector test packets
is shorter than the padding in sender packets. Using at least
29 octets of padding (58 in authenticated mode) in sender test
packets allows both the sender and the reflector to use a 2-octet
Checksum Complement. Note: If the minimal length requirement is
not met, the reflector cannot use a Checksum Complement in the
reflected test packets, but the sender can use a Checksum
Complement in the test packets it transmits.
o Two optional TWAMP features are defined in [TWAMP-Reflect]:
octet reflection and symmetrical size. When at least one of these
features is enabled, the Request-TW-Session message includes the
<Padding Length> field, as well as a <Length of padding to
reflect> field. In this case, both fields must be sufficiently
long to allow at least 2 octets of padding in both sender test
packets and reflector test packets. Specifically, when octet
reflection is enabled, the two Length fields must be defined such
that the padding expands at least 2 octets beyond the end of the
reflected octets.
As described in Section 1, the extensions described in this document
are implemented by two logical layers -- a protocol layer and a
timestamping layer. It is assumed that the two layers are
synchronized regarding whether the usage of the Checksum Complement
is enabled or not; since both logical layers reside in the same
network device, it is assumed that there is no need for a protocol
that synchronizes this information between the two layers. When
Checksum Complement usage is enabled, the protocol layer must take
care to verify that test packets include the necessary padding,
thereby avoiding the need for the timestamping layer to verify that
en-route test packets include the necessary padding.
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 9]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
3.2.1. Transmission of OWAMP/TWAMP with Checksum Complement
The transmitter of an OWAMP/TWAMP test packet MAY include a Checksum
Complement field, incorporated in the last 2 octets of the padding.
A transmitter that includes a Checksum Complement in its outgoing
test packets MUST include a Packet Padding field in these packets,
the length of which MUST be sufficient to include the Checksum
Complement. The length of the Packet Padding field is negotiated
during session initiation, as described in Section 3.2.
3.2.2. Intermediate Updates of OWAMP/TWAMP with Checksum Complement
An intermediate entity that receives and alters an OWAMP/TWAMP
test packet can alter either the UDP Checksum field or the Checksum
Complement field in order to maintain the correctness of the
UDP Checksum value.
3.2.3. Reception of OWAMP/TWAMP with Checksum Complement
This document does not impose new requirements on the receiving end
of an OWAMP/TWAMP test packet.
The UDP layer at the receiving end verifies the UDP Checksum of
received test packets, and the OWAMP/TWAMP layer should treat the
Checksum Complement as part of the padding.
3.3. Interoperability with Existing Implementations
The behavior defined in this document does not impose new
requirements on the reception behavior of OWAMP/TWAMP test packets.
The protocol stack of the receiving host performs the conventional
UDP Checksum verification; thus, from the perspective of the
receiving host, the existence of the Checksum Complement is
transparent. Therefore, the functionality described in this document
allows interoperability with existing implementations that comply
with [OWAMP] or [TWAMP].
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 10]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
3.4. Using the Checksum Complement with or without Authentication
Both OWAMP and TWAMP may use authentication or encryption, as defined
in [OWAMP] and [TWAMP].
3.4.1. Checksum Complement in Authenticated Mode
OWAMP and TWAMP test packets can be authenticated using an HMAC
(Hashed Message Authentication Code). The HMAC covers some of the
fields in the test packet header. The HMAC does not cover the
Timestamp field and the Packet Padding field.
A Checksum Complement MAY be used when authentication is enabled. In
this case, an intermediate entity can timestamp test packets and
update their Checksum Complement field without modifying the HMAC.
3.4.2. Checksum Complement in Encrypted Mode
When OWAMP and TWAMP are used in encrypted mode, the Timestamp field
is encrypted.
A Checksum Complement SHOULD NOT be used in encrypted mode. The
Checksum Complement is effective in both unauthenticated mode and
authenticated mode, allowing the intermediate entity to perform
serial processing of the packet without storing and forwarding it.
On the other hand, in encrypted mode, an intermediate entity that
timestamps a test packet must also re-encrypt the packet accordingly.
Re-encryption typically requires the intermediate entity to store the
packet, re-encrypt it, and then forward it. Thus, from an
implementer's perspective, the Checksum Complement has very little
value in encrypted mode, as it does not necessarily simplify the
implementation.
Note: While [OWAMP] and [TWAMP] include an inherent security
mechanism, these protocols can be secured by other measures, e.g.,
[IPPMIPsec]. For reasons similar to those described above, a
Checksum Complement SHOULD NOT be used in this case.
Mizrahi Experimental [Page 11]
RFC 7820 OWAMP and TWAMP Checksum Complement March 2016
4. Security Considerations
This document describes how a Checksum Complement extension can be
used for maintaining the correctness of the UDP Checksum.
The purpose of this extension is to ease the implementation of
accurate timestamping engines, as illustrated in Figure 1. The
extension is intended to be used internally in an OWAMP/TWAMP-enabled
node, and not intended to be used by intermediate switches and
routers that reside between the sender and the receiver/reflector.
Any modification of a test packet by intermediate switches or routers
should be considered a malicious man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
It is important to emphasize that the scheme described in this
document does not increase the protocol's vulnerability to MITM
attacks; a MITM attacker who maliciously modifies a packet and its
Checksum Complement is logically equivalent to a MITM attacker who
modifies a packet and its UDP Checksum field.
The concept described in this document is intended to be used only in
unauthenticated mode or authenticated mode. As described in
Section 3.4.2, using the Checksum Complement in encrypted mode does
not simplify the implementation compared to using the conventional
checksum, and therefore the Checksum Complement should not be used.

Appendix A. Checksum Complement Usage Example
Consider a session between an OWAMP sender and an OWAMP receiver, in
which the sender transmits test packets to the receiver.
The sender's software layer generates an OWAMP test packet with a
timestamp T and a UDP Checksum value U. The value of U is the
checksum of the UDP header, UDP payload, and pseudo-header. Thus,
U is equal to:
U = Const + checksum(T) (1)
Where "Const" is the checksum of all the fields that are covered by
the checksum, except the timestamp T.
Recall that the sender's software emits the test packet with a
Checksum Complement field, which is simply the last 2 octets of the
padding. In this example, it is assumed that the sender initially
assigns zero to these 2 octets.
The sender's timestamping engine updates the Timestamp field to the
accurate time, changing its value from T to T'. The sender also
updates the Checksum Complement field from zero to a new value C,
such that:
checksum(C) = checksum(T) - checksum(T') (2)
When the test packet is transmitted by the sender's timestamping
engine, the value of the checksum remains U as before:
U = Const + checksum(T) = Const + checksum(T) + checksum(T') -
checksum(T') = Const + checksum(T') + checksum(C) (3)
Thus, after the timestamping engine has updated the timestamp,
U remains the correct checksum of the packet.
When the test packet reaches the receiver, the receiver performs a
conventional UDP Checksum computation, and the computed value is U.
Since the Checksum Complement is part of the padding, the value of
checksum(C) is transparently included in the computation, as per
Equation (3), without requiring special treatment by the receiver.
