Yet another layer violation problem, and yet another reason for preferring a 
pure-MLPS encap.

If we are talking about an Ethernet PW, there is no NSP defined for 
intermediate LSRs,
(even if we think of a PW with TC as a sequence of S-PEs there is no NSP there)
and so technically no way to do any Ethernet level processing.

Hi Tal,

In my opinion since the LSR is not an 802.1 bridge it doesn't need to change 
source MAC addresses while performing TC functions.

Best,
Ron

Hi Manav et al,

When using 1588-over-Ethernet, each TC that modifies the CF also updates the 
Ethernet MAC SA to the address of the TC. This is because an 802.1 bridge that 
modifies a packet must update its source address to the bridge's address.

In draft-davari-tictoc-1588overmpls-01, when using 1588-over-PW, the LSR TCs 
update the CF in the passenger Ethernet packet. I am wondering whether the MAC 
SA of the passenger Ethernet packet must be updated in this case.
This issue applies also to 1588-over-IP-over-Ethernet-over-PW.

Regards,
Tal.
