Dear All,
we've uploaded the new version of the draft. Per discussion with Lou have added a flag to RTM_SET TLV. The flag indicates failure by a node to calculate distance to the next downstream RTM node. Thus the ingress node may inspect the RTM_SET TLVs whether any has the flag set.

Appreciate your review, comments.

	Regards,
		Greg

Great, thank you.  Feel free to unicast me a diff if you'd like.

Couldn't the TTL calculation some up too small if the wrong SOs are removed, and wouldn't this result in a black hole of actual RTM messages?  How do you cover this case?

If a node ID of the first node in the RTM_SET TLV is not found in the RRO list, then the TTL will be set to 255 and packet will not be processed by intermediate RTM-capable nodes but arrive at LSP egress LSR. Thus not all RTM capable nodes will be accounted for in the Scratch Pad but still some nodes may. I'll add some text to highlight this case.

I haven't spent too much time thinking about this so there may be a better solution out there.

List-Id: Multi-Protocol Label Switching WG <mpls.ietf.org>

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching of the IETF.

        Title           : Residence Time Measurement in MPLS network
        Authors         : Greg Mirsky
                          Stefano Ruffini

	Pages           : 27
	Date            : 2016-04-07

Abstract:
   This document specifies G-ACh based Residence Time Measurement and
   how it can be used by time synchronization protocols being
   transported over MPLS domain.

   Residence time is the variable part of propagation delay of timing
   and synchronization messages and knowing what this delay is for each
   message allows for a more accurate determination of the delay to be
   taken into account in applying the value included in a PTP event
   message.

A diff from the previous version is available at:
