Subject: OAM Destination MAC Address

 

Glen,

 

Is it allowed for an OAMPDU to have a destination MAC address that is NOT SP_MAC_ADDR, but is the MAC address of the destination OAM peer?

 

For example:

 

Given two IEEE 802.3 Clause 57 OAM Sublayer entities: OAM Peer A and OAM Peer Z

 

What is the expected behavior at OAM Peer Z, if OAM Peer A sends an OAMPDU with SRC_ADDR==OAM Peer A and DST_ADDR==OAM Peer Z ??

 

Will OAM Peer Z correctly receive and process the OAMPDU? Will it drop the OAMPDU? Will it do something else?
