PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose inserting an address for performing such OAM functions in an efficient way that is transparent to a customer or services using the network path. SOLUTION: An indication is received that a source address reserved for OAM use should be inserted into a forwarding database associated with a provider network node, such as a provider edge device, that receives the indication. The address is inserted into a forwarding database as an address that is owned by the provider network node and reserved for OAM use. One or more other nodes associated with a service with which the OAM address is associated may be notified that the OAM address is associated with the provider network node that owns the OAM address.
