Hi  Tissa,
Your solution is active OAM,  i think it is a basic and important solution in 
whole OAM framework.The disccussed thread is about passive OAM.
 Both active and passive OAM have its pros/cons, both have its usecases and 
scenarios.The regular method for passive OAM is to add marking bits in packet 
header, in NVO3 case, the marking bits had better be set in NVO3 header.But 
just as Greg said,currently it's unfortunate that there is no accepted OAM 
requirements, gap analysis, and etc in the WG. We hope this work could be 
progressed more quickly.
Thanks
weiguo

Hi Tom

Your interpretation is correct. The entropy allows OAM packets to follow the 
same path as the data packet.

As I noted earlier on in the thread, OAM processing would not kick in unless 
address matches the MEP/MIP. If address match MEP/MIP and OAM bit is set, then 
OAM processing begins.

Tissa,

If I am reading this correctly, the OAM message would be composed of the 
encapsulation header, followed by 128 bytes of which contains a pseudo header 
for switching, followed by a self defining OAM message.
The OAM bit is only used at the receiver to distinguish data messages for OAM 
messages for processing. Is this interpretation correct?

Thanks,
Tom
