Carlos and all, I agree this clarification is necessary. We already have deployed implementation using LSP Ping CV type for PW over GRE tunnels. Mustapha.

Hi Sasha, VCCV is now in AUTH48, so timing couldn't be better :) I'll send in this change to the RFC Editor (I believe it's an editorial, to clarify/narrow the example's wording), but I'll wait a bit in case there's other comments. Thank you, and thanks Raman for finding this room for improvement :) --Carlos.
