Zusammenfassung:A network device may receive a message. The network device may determine that the message includes return information indicating a path to an initial device that generated the message. The network device may modify the message by adding an upstream device identifier, wherein the upstream device identifier identifies a device from which the message is received. The network device may modify the message by adding an indication of whether the initial device is reachable by the network device using a segment identifier. The network device may provide the modified message to a downstream device.
