[sfc] Fw: I-D Action: draft-ietf-sfc-multi-layer-oam-13.txt

Dear All,
updates in this version result from the discussion with Med (lots of thanks and my sincere appreciation, Med).
The authors believe that the document is much closer to be ready for the WG LC now. Please read it. Your comments are most welcome.
In the discussion, a question came up: What could be the best way to handle two individual drafts (draft-ao-sfc-oam-return-path-specified and draft-ao-sfc-oam-path-consistency)? These drafts define extensions of the SFC Echo Request/Reply protocol addressing several of the requirements listed in Section 3 of draft-ietf-sfc-multi-layer-oam. It was also suggested that the substantive part of these drafts be merged into the Active SFC OAM specification. We've asked the question and received several responses. Authors much appreciate the WG Chairs opinion on the proposed merge of the named drafts.

Regards,

Abstract:
A set of requirements for active Operation, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM) of Service Function Chains (SFCs) in a network is
presented in this document.  Based on these requirements, an
encapsulation of active OAM messages in SFC and a mechanism to detect
and localize defects are described.
This document updates RFC 8300.  Particularly, it updates the
definition of O (OAM) bit in the Network Service Header (NSH) (RFC
8300) and defines how an active OAM message is identified in the NSH.
