hi greg

As the document says:

"When LSP ping is used to bootstrap BFD session this document updates
   this and defines that LSP Ping MUST include the FEC corresponding to
   the destination segment and SHOULD NOT include FECs corresponding to
   some or all of segment imposed by the initiator.  "

I think that it likes LDP BFD session establishment. The disadvantage is 
that at egress LSR we can not support many BFD session when many ingress 
LSR want to create BFD session with the same egerss LSR at the same time, 
if all these ingress LSR use same Local Discriminator.

In fact, SR-tunnel is a special TE-tunnel, both of them can direct flow 
along specified forwarding path, only different in signal and label stack 
depth. The FEC contained in the LSP ping echo request message used to 
bootstrap SR-tunnel BFD should represent the flow characteristic, such as 
INGRESS-ID, EGRESS-ID, PATH-ID, etc. Maybe we can reuse TE FEC, such as 
"RSVP IPv4 LSP" as defined in RFC4379. We can create more PATHs for an 
SR-tunnel, we can configure SR-tunnel BFD or SR-tunnel PATH BFD.

The node/adjacency segment FEC as discussed in 
draft-kumarkini-mpls-spring-lsp-ping are also neccessary for LSP 
ping/traceroute FEC validation.

I would really love your opinion.

thanks
