Note, in the unlikely event that a segment VPC-AIS cell is received on the end-to-end VPC
connection, no action would be taken at the F5 level. This is because the VPC connection is only
configured as an end-to-end point and no segment OAM cells should be received. The end-to-
end VPC connection would only terminate the segment VPC-AIS cell and no further action
would be taken at the F4 level.

No action is taken. This represents an unusual case where an F4 segment AIS
cell is received on a F4 connection end-point. The segment AIS cell will be
terminated at the VP connection end-point, but no other action is taken.
