Hi Greg,

thanks for the comments. Some relies inline.

I see your point. But I think you could argue this two ways. I personally liked in- and out-MIP as it illustrates the point of MIPs being transit points and therefore somewhat different in nature. RFC 6371 does talk about per-interface MIPs but does not name them in any way, which I found strange at first. Can someone involved in the ITU-T (or IEEE for that matter) maybe comment on terminology here. Up/Down MEP is a commonly used term, but how about per interface-MIPs?

Would qualifying it as on-demand CV work for you?

This is a term taken from 5860 - the OAM requirements. I agree that a number of more specific OAM functions fall into the category of diagnostic test, but using the term should be fine give that it has been used already in RFCs. Would you agree?

Thanks again,

Rolf
