Hi Jurgen,
thank you for the review, questions, and suggestions to improve the

attached diff highlights the updates (including those suggested by Adam).
Please find my notes in-line tagged GIM>>,

Best regards,

GIM>> As Adam had explained, the correct wording for these addresses (and
that is what used in the working version) is "IPv4-mapped IPv4 loopback
addresses". Using an address from this range as the destination IP address
of an OAM packet encapsulated in a tunnel was, to the best of my knowledge,
first defined in RFC 4379 (now RFC 8029). Then RFC 5884 applied it to BFD
over MPLS LSP.

requested by the BFD WG. I think that some amount of work to define the use
of Echo BFD over VXLAN may be needed.
