Hi Eric,

It was good opportunity for us to discuss about Per-IF MIP at Pargue.
In that week, you put reply to me on ML as below;

> >>        If you want to include specific interface information,
> >>you can include a DSMAP (or DDMAP) TLV as defined by RFC
> >>4379, and extended by this draft (in combination with the
> >>draft "draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-enhanced-dsmap" for DDMAP).

After that, I'v read both of RFC 4379 and draft-ietf-mpls-on-demand-cv in detail.
As the result, I'd like to clarify some points as below;

(1)draft-on-demand-cv says in 2.1.1. that
  "When sending On-demand CV packets using ACH, without IP
   encapsulation, the following information MUST be included in any
   (source/destination) TLV that is included in the packet.".
  Here, "the following information" is DSMAP/DDMAP address TLV
  which has address type "5".

  Furthermore, the draft also describes in 2.1. that
  "When this address type is used, on receipt of a LSP-Ping echo
   request, interface verification MUST be bypassed.  Thus the receiving
   node SHOULD only perform mpls label control-plane/data-plane
   consistency checks.
  Here, "this address type" is "5".

  In my understanding from these two descriptions,
  a DSMAP/DDMAP MUST be included in an echo request,
  when using ACH without IP/UDP.
  However, on receipt of the echo request,
  the DSMAP/DDMAP MUST be ignored.
  
  is this understanding correct?

(2)If above is yes, is it possible to achieve Per-IF MIP
   by single route-trace as you said?

BR,
Hideki
