Hi Carlos,
I believe that introduction of the OAM Header with demultiplexing OAM
functions through use of Msg Type will enable use of non-IP encapsulation,
including for BFD and Echo Request/Reply (more on options to demultiplex
active OAM functions could be found in draft-wang-sfc-multi-layer-oam
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wang-sfc-multi-layer-oam/>). And I
see ability to use non-IP encapsulation as more significant improvement
even with relative cost of introducing OAM Header.
Thank you for your reference to RFC 7942. I will discuss your suggestion
with co-authors and we'll consider adding such section.

Regards,
Greg
