This document defines PCEP extensions to distribute In-situ Flow Information Telemetry (IFIT) information. So that IFIT behavior can be enabled automatically when the path is instantiated. In-situ Flow Information Telemetry (IFIT) refers to network OAM data plane on-path telemetry techniques, in particular the most popular are In-situ OAM (IOAM) and Alternate Marking. The IFIT attributes here described can be generalized for all path types but the application to Segment Routing (SR) is considered in this document. This document extends PCEP to carry the IFIT attributes under the stateful PCE model.
