>Without encoding the metric in the OCP, how does a node know what metric is in use in an advertised RPL Instance.

The metrics inside the metric container inside the DIOs it receives from its candidate parents. Only the DAG root needs to be configured regarding merics in use. Other nodes would know the metrics in use by looking inside the metric container of the DIOs they receive.
