Is not such a correlation possible by processing _any_ provisioning information regardless of the data representation?  I’m wondering if this isn’t as simple as “That correlation between the particular IP OAM session and the monitored IP DetNet flow can be achieved by using DetNet provisioning information (e.g., [I-D.ietf-detnet-yang]).
