IPv6 On-Path Telemetry: Driving New Transformation in Network O&M

Course Overview

As networks grow in scale and complexity, traditional monitoring tools are no longer sufficient. IPv6 On-Path Telemetry (OPT) introduces a powerful mechanism that allows real-time collection of performance, path, and operational data directly within IPv6 packets. This course explores how IPv6 OPT is reshaping network observability and enabling proactive, data-driven network management.

You will gain both theoretical knowledge and practical insight into how on-path telemetry works, why it matters, and how it can be deployed to optimize large-scale enterprise, service provider, and cloud networks.

What You Will Learn

• Fundamentals of IPv6 and the evolution of network telemetry
• Core concepts of IPv6 On-Path Telemetry and its architecture
• How telemetry data is collected, transported, and analyzed
• Use cases for performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and SLA assurance
• Impact of IPv6 OPT on modern Network O&M transformation

Why IPv6 On-Path Telemetry Matters

IPv6 OPT enables unprecedented visibility into network behavior by embedding telemetry instructions directly into packets. This allows operators to detect congestion, latency issues, and path changes in real time—without relying solely on external probes or reactive monitoring tools. Organizations adopting this approach benefit from faster troubleshooting, improved reliability, and smarter automation.

Who Should Take This Course

This course is ideal for network engineers, NOC professionals, DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and students who want to stay ahead of emerging networking technologies. A basic understanding of IP networking is recommended, but detailed concepts are explained step by step.
