packet, the responding egress node delays sending a response for a random amount
of time between zero milliseconds and 30 seconds that is predefined for this TLV. If
the TLV is not contained in the echo request packet, the responding egress node
does not create any additional delay in responding to the echo request. The Echo
Jitter TLV is valid only in an echo request message. If this TLV is included in an echo
response message, it is ignored. The Echo Jitter TLV is assigned the TLV type value
of 12.

P2MP Responder Identifier TLV Operations

You can select the egress node in a point-to-multipoint LSP for which you want to
trace the path from an ingress node and detect network failures by including a P2MP
Responder Identifier TLV in the echo request packet sent to the egress node. The
initiator can determine whether only the node identified in the TLV must respond
or any node on the path to the selected egress node in the TLV needs to respond. If
you do not include the P2MP Responder Identifier TLV in an echo request packet,
all egress nodes in the path to the ingress node respond to echo request packets.
If the node is an egress of the P2MP LSP, the node checks whether it has received a
P2MP Responder Identifier TLV in an echo request. If a P2MP Responder Identifier
TLV is contained in the received echo request, the node uses the sub-TLVs contained
in this TLV to determine whether it must respond to the request. If the P2MP
Responder Identifier TLV is not present (or does not contain any sub-TLVs), the egress
node responds to the echo request depending on the setting of the Response Type
field in the echo message.
The P2MP Responder Identifier TLV is assigned a type number of 11. The P2MP
Responder Identifier TLV is valid only in an echo request message.
Four sub-TLVs are defined for inclusion in the P2MP Responder Identifier TLV in the
echo request message. Table 26 on page 240 lists the sub-TLVs supported for the
P2MP Responder Identifier TLV.

TLVs and Sub-TLVs Supported for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs Connectivity Verification at Egress Nodes
If this TLV is included in an echo response message, it is ignored.
If no sub-TLVs are present, this TLV is processed as though it were not included.
If more than one sub-TLV is present in this TLV, they are processed based on
their subtype numbers and subsequent sub-TLVs are ignored.

Comments
The IPv4 address in this sub-TLV
is the IPv4 address of the egress
node and does not specify the IPv4
address of a branch or
intermediate node.
The IPv6 address in this sub-TLV
is the IPv6 address of the egress
node and does not specify the IPv6
address of a branch or
intermediate node.
