[EFM] Procedure for starting and ending remote loopback

Hi,

57.2.11.1 and 57.2.11.3 said that local_mux_action and local_par_action must be set accordingly before sending loopback control OAMPDU. The question is: Does those mux and parser state need to be conveyed to an info OAMPDU before sending the loopback control OAMPDU?

For example, to initiate OAM remote loopback which sequence is the right one?
Sequence A:
1. Set local_mux_action and local_par_action to DISCARD
2. Send an info OAMPDU
3. Send loopback control OAMPDU

or

Sequence B:
1. Set local_mux_action and local_par_action to DISCARD
2. Send loopback control OAMPDU
and info OAMPDU that reflects the changed states of local_mux_action and local_par_action can come anytime before or after loopback control OAMPDU.

My interpretation of the text is sequence B.

Any comments?
