Dear authors,

I have a comment/question on this draft.

As described in section 1.3, in the ring topology, we have to consider the drop-and-continue node case. 
In this case, the drop-and-continue node will become an intermediate point. 
So, can we configure a MEP on an intermediate node(= drop-and-continue node)?

As described in section 3.3 of RFC 6371, a MEP terminates all the OAM packets it receives from the MEG, 
may discards silently if addressing information in the OAM payload is different with termination node. 
It means that the intermediate node must NOT be configured as a MEP when per-node OAM configuration is used, 
because downstream nodes can't receive the OAM packets from root node.

On the other hand, if the intermediate node can't be configured as a MEP, the path protection may 
not be able to work at this point. I think this is a serious problem.

Best regards,
zhenlong
