Describes the supported traffic, SID counting, byte measurement, telemetry, collection intervals, and operational restrictions that affect SRv6 accounting results.


Supported traffic types

  • IPv6 packets.

  • SRv6 VPNv4

  • SRv6 VPNv6

  • SRv6 INETv4

  • SRv6 INETv6

SRv6 packet accounting behavior

  • SRv6 packets with the local SID as the top SID.

    • If the top SID is a local uN, traffic is counted against the remote locator prefix of the next SID.

    • Traffic is not counted if the top SID is a local uA.

Measurement and counting details

  • Ethernet header is considered for bytes accounting.

  • SRv6 traffic accounting does not count locally generated control plane packets such as ping to the remote locator.

  • Packets aren’t counted if the local uA is the top SID.

Configuration requirements

  • Supports a minimum telemetry pull interval of 30 seconds.

Configuration requirements

  • SRv6 traffic accounting is not supported with SRv6 TE policy.

  • No additional MIBs are supported to retrieve SRv6 traffic statistics. We recommend to use telemetry through the newly added sensor-path in Cisco-IOS-XR-fib-common-oper to retrieve these statistics.
