Hi Tissa,
I think you're misunderstanding or misinterpreting my POV. I'm not saying
that either FM or PM cannot be performed in IP ECMP environment. But I
believe that IP OAM has certain limitations like in case of in-band
requirement. Of course, if one uses tunnels in server layer and maps flows
into tunnels at the edge, then in-band comes for free. Another example that
comes to mind is use of MPLS Entropy label. But I think that such are not
the most generic scenarios for IP network.

Regards,
Greg
