I. Introduction
In-Band Network Telemetry (INT) [1], [2] enables the network switch to insert its state information (e.g., queue length, hop latency, link utilization) into the packet header. Such state data are then transported by the packet and separated from the packet payload for further processing at the destination. Compared to conventional network monitoring approaches, INT can collect data at line speed in the data-forwarding plane, measure desired switches en route, adapt to almost any encapsulation format, and scale to large networks of diverse types. P4 switch is an industrial example to realize INT [2].
