When looking at the latest draft I was curious about how copying for the
purpose of troubleshooting / probes would be supported?

My thought would be some sort of property on a port that copies the traffic
and notes the PRT that it could be forwarded to.

Could we support this use case (I am not married to the suggestion above)
in the specification given its importance to trouble management?   This is
easy enough to support in underlying DPN technologies such as SDN and I see
no reason to not specify it in FPC and avoid using yet another protocol for
forwarding.

Comments / Thoughts would be appreciated on this matter.

Thank you.

Lyle
