Hi Sasha There is an accompanying LSP ping draft for evpn:

Yes, the MAC address of the customer MEP needs to be learned but Section 9.1 of RFC 7432 includes the following text, which seems adequate to me: The PEs in a particular EVPN instance MUST support local data-plane learning using standard IEEE Ethernet learning procedures. > 2.

LSP Ping is one mechanism indirectly referenced in Section 2.4 of the draft via the reference to RFC 6425 but there are others. Since OAM messages need to follow the same path as data, as far as practical, it seem to me there should not be any FECs allocated for OAM beyond those already needed for data. Probably wording in the draft related to FECs should be checked/adjusted. Thanks, Donald =============================== Donald E.
