Hi Greg, Stewart,

There are two use-cases that can benefit with STAMP packet without using
IP/UDP header and using STAMP GACH type:

*Use Case 1: *
•Same MPLS Encapsulation as Data Traffic carrying Control-Word (CW) for
monitoring ECMP and fate sharing
1.MPLS Ethernet PW [RFC4448]
2.L2-Specific Sublayer (L2SS) used in L2TPv3 PW carry CW (no IP header)
[RFC3931]
3.PLE [draft-ietf-pals-ple] traffic over PSN (as VPWS) carry CW (no IP
header)
4.TDM over IP [RFC5087] payload (structure-aware/structure-agnostic) carry
CW with or without IP header

*Use Case 2: *
•Demultiplex Control Channel (VCCV/OAM)
1.G-ACh types allow to demultiplex *VCCV Control Channel *for PWs [RFC7708]
and MPLS-TP PWs [RFC7189]
•For example, G-ACh types for BFD packets with or without IP/UDP headers
allow to demultiplex VCCV Control Channel [RFC5885]
2.G-ACh types allow to demultiplex *OAM Control Channel *for MPLS-TP LSPs
and PWs [RFC5960]

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks,
Rakesh
