Hi All, Version 07 was posted.
Based on feedback we received Section 2 was split into two sections, so that now Section 3 includes the terminology and guidance. Looking at rfcdiff it may appear like a lot of text has changed, but in fact this is not the case. Text was mostly moved around, and the changes compared to the previous version are mainly clarifications about the term path-congruent and about the difference between hybrid and in-packet OAM. Thanks, The authors.
