RE: Ethernet OAM BCPs Please are there any yet???

I don't know if any Y.1731 gear will do anything other than constant interval probes. I'm also not sure what the values 
of randomly spaced probes would be.
As far as I know the Y.1731 performance measurement probes are intended to be used to obtain performance data on 
circuits with as little impact on the available bandwidth as possible. Using a random departure time sounds like the 
sort of load test where you want to generate a synthetic data stream and consume bandwidth.
