Hi Ben
Scalability of TC (or whatever we call it) is basically if you have 1:1
mapping between TC and LSP. But if you have 1:n mapping TC and many LSPs
the main concern can be solved. 
If you define TC in reasonable areas (e.g. across a domain in a
multi-domain network) and the TC aggregate multiple LSPs then IMO the
construction of TC is the cleanest one and works well with OAM and with
protection.
Best regards,
Nurit

I'm no OAM expert (I leave that to Tom :-) ) but I am yet to be
convinced by
nesting all OAM segments for the reason that it sounds complicated and
that
means to me that it will be expensive to run and to scale.  It also
sounds
like I'd have to have my network constructed in a particular way to be
able
to use OAM which means even in the best run network I will at some point
not
be able to run OAM when I need it (and the customer is screaming at me)
because the network wasn't constructed correctly (either by design or
actual
configuration != design).
