Hi Paul,

The current text states:

"
   O bit: Indicates that this packet is an operations and management
   (OAM) packet.  SFF and SFs nodes MUST examine the payload and take
   appropriate action (e.g. return status information).

   OAM message specifics and handling details are outside the scope of
   this document.
"

Is there any particular reason why this is declared out of scope?

If the current scope is to be maintained, then you can remove this sentence as it is useless since appropriate actions are not defined in the document.

"SFF and SFs nodes MUST examine the payload and take
   appropriate action (e.g. return status information)."

Thank you.

Cheers,
Med
