	 <t>   This document specifies extensions to MPLS LSP Ping&#x27;s
   tracing function as specified in IETF RFC4379 to support
   link bundle constructs. In particular, we extend the 
   Echo Request packet format to include a new Link Bundle TLV 
   that can contain both the virtual link bundle interface 
   ID, as well as a description of the ECMP algorithm used by 
   said interface. The existing downstream mapping processing 
   algorithm for midpoints is modified to specify that when link 
   bundles are encountered, that the component links should be
   revealed as would non-component links in the existing
   algorithm.
