Abstract
A transit/egress node in a communication network uses a performance measured flow (PMF) identifier for statistics collection for a given PMF. The PMF identifier is carried in the piggy backed information without the use of separate SR label. The Piggy backed information carries the node information role of the node used by the transit egress node to collect statistics for a given PM segment. The node collects the statistics for multiple segments and multiple PM types using a metadata present in single received packet.
