This feature implements the existing behavior of a ping or a traceroute packet, originated at the ingress PE node, for a prefix resolved to a SRv6 tunnel.If the OAM ping or traceroute packet is received from the CE router and expires (hop- limit field value equal to or less than 1), the ingress PE node responds as per current behavior. If the packet does not expire (hop-limit field value greater than 1), it is forwarded over the SRv6 tunnel as a data path packet.
