In the end, I believe that this is the real solution to this problem. I
haven't yet seen discussion on this thread about what would be done if an
MPLS OAM CV with BDI did detect a fault. Do we reboot the entire node? What
if it is a software/hardware bug that affects multiple nodes from a certain
vendor?
