Document: draft-ietf-pals-p2mp-pw-lsp-ping-03.txt

Assuming I am understanding this document correctly, it's just a refinement
of MPLS Echo to point out a specific receiver to respond. Is that correct?
If so, perhaps you could make that clear in the intro.

This document is pretty acronym heavy. Please ensure that every acronym
is expanded on first use. Examples include LSP, VPN, VPLS, etc.
Similarly, LSP Tail/Bud, etc. need citations.

Figure 2 would benefit from some explanations of the packet flow. Where
does the echo packet start, where does it stop? Who answers, etc.
