Subject: Query on "draft-asm-mpls-tp-bfd-cc-cv-02"

Hello draft authors,

Please clarify on the below rules mentioned in
draft-asm-mpls-tp-bfd-cc-cv-02 section-3.4

1. When running the unidirectional state machine the M bit MUST be always
set to 1.
2. a Mis-connectivity defect SHOULD be also detected if an unexpected M bit
value is received.

As i understand in reading draft-katz-ward-bfd-multipoint-02 section 4, this
M bit is meant for P2MP networks.
Please help me understand your thought in setting this M bit to be set on
Unidirectional Sessions? Why do we need to declare CV fault based on false M
bit for P2P networks?

Thanks,
Binny Jeshan.
