Well if OAM is going to be effective, messages need to be sent from any pair of ports that yield 0 through N modulus so multiple paths can be determined. So it doesn't matter with the port number values you use, those control packets will be ECMPed as well. If you are also inferring that you want the OAM packets to go through the same data-path of each device on the path, then you will have to put TLVs in the data path, which is traditionally not prudent.
