Hi Joe,

As you know, I agree with this (per Section 3.13 of AERO) but it is not
exactly like RFC4821. With RFC4821, since the source of the probes is
also the original source of the data packets (and, since the probes are
actually data packets themselves) the probes are guaranteed to travel
the same network path as the data packets.

When the tunnel probes, however, it may be probing on behalf of many
original sources and it becomes more difficult to ensure that the probes
travel the same network path as the data packets. For this reason, the
tunnel needs to be meticulous about how it assigns n-tuples to the
probes and encapsulated data packets.

Thanks - Fred
