Deepak,

Didn't have time to go into this on the call, but the draft and your slides refer to "96 bits of customer data" I understand why that was needed for TRILL - basically the entropy for ECMP/LAG is calculated at each hop in TRILL so it needs to look at the inner Ethernet, IP, and TCP/UDP headers.

But for NVO3 the thinking is to use a UDP header where the source UDP port is set (in the ingress NVE) to some hash of those inner addresses and ports. If that is the source of entropy, why do we need to also carry 96 bits of the inner packet in the OAM frames?

Regards,
    Erik
