Dear All,
Ignas and I had discussed  operational hurdles of OAM and we've the new topic to offer for us to discuss - whether having Overlay OAM Domain Identifier in the OAM packet is operationally helpful. And if it is, then following could be questions to investigate:

*         how such identifiers can be structured, constructed ;

*         can underlay be referenced in the overlay identifier (may help with AIS localization);

*         if ID is TLV, then would fixed position, e.g. must be first among TLVs, simplifies processing, perhaps makes it bit more HW-friendly;

*         OAM ID enables Connectivity Check and miss-connection defect, with in- and out-defect, can be defined.

Regards,
        Greg
