Zhenlong,

See below.  I've cut topics with resolutions/agreements.

Okay, I understand your point.  I think your reading / the text does not
match our intent.  (Which is certainly to allow for both MIP and MEP
processing.)

How about:
s/to all leaves/towards all leaves

Which will result in:
     All the traffic sent over a P2MP transport path, including
     OAM packets generated by a MEP, is sent (multicast) from the
     root towards all the leaves, and thus may be processed by all
     the MEs in a P2MP MEG.

Sorry for not being clear.  I was proposing the following final text:
    Fault notification happens from the node
    identifying the fault to the root node and, perhaps, from the
    leaves to the root via an out of band path.

Now rereading the sentence I think I'd prefer just dropping the
reference to leaves as it really doesn't add anything.  How about:
      Fault notification happens from the node
      identifying the fault to the root node via an out of band path.

And also dropping "In either case" immediately following to align the
next sentence.

That's it.  Thank you again for your comments.
