Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) scaling systems and methods are implemented by a network function performed by one of a physical network element and a virtual network element executed on one or more processors. The OAM scaling method includes providing N packet services, N is an integer; and, responsive to determined OAM session scaling limits, providing OAM sessions for the N packet services in an oversubscribed manner, wherein the determined OAM session scaling limits include M OAM sessions supported by the network function, M is an integer and less than N.
