GIM>> Thank you for the question, Tony. Looking at other Geneve OAM
documents, I propose the following update:
OLD TEXT:
   The second case is when a test packet is transmitted using the VNI
   value associated with the monitored service flow.  By doing that, the
   test packet experiences network treatment as the tenant's packets.
   Details of that use case are outside the scope of this specification.
NEW TEXT:
   The second case is when a test packet is transmitted using the VNI
   value associated with the monitored service flow.  By doing that, the
   test packet experiences network treatment as the tenant's packets.
   An example of the realization of that scenario is discussed in
   [RFC9521].
And I now have a question for you Should RFC 9521
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9521/> be used as Normative reference
or it can remain the Informative?

GIM>> Thank you for the proposed text that is much better than the old
version. To make it the requirement, I think that capitalization is in
place:
NEW TEXT:
      Requirement 5: There MUST be a way to encode entropy information
      into the underlay forwarding scheme so that OAM packets take the
      same dataflow paths as the transit traffic flows.
