GIM>> The tail must know the identity, e.g., IP address, of the head as it
uses it as one of elements in demultiplexing received BFD Control packets.
In case of IP/UDP encapsulation the tail checks Source IP address against
the list of valid sources. There's no Source ID in BFD control packet
itself.
