I haven't studied the 802.1AS specification in detail yet, but your description matches my current understanding of how the path trace TLVs work. regards, Wolfgang ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Command Line: Reinvented for Modern Developers Did the resurgence of CLI tooling catch you by surprise?
