Abstract
In one example, techniques are provided for extending an active measurement protocol with an Operations, Administration and Management/Maintenance (OAM) channel. A first Provider Edge (PE) node obtains from or provides to a second PE node, over a packet-switched network via an overlay, OAM data in an OAM channel of the active measurement protocol. The OAM data relates to a networking issue. The network issue is automatically resolved responsive to the OAM data.
