If address A is before address B in Relay Node Address Stack TLV, then use address B as the next relay node address. Otherwise, use address A as the next relay node address.

When the replying LSR receives an Echo Request, and the first IP address in the Relay Node Address Stack TLV is not the next relay node address, the replying LSR SHOULD send a Relayed Echo Reply message to the next relay node. The processing of Relayed Echo Reply is the same with the procedure of the Echo Reply described in Section 4.5 of [RFC4379], except the destination IP address and the destination UDP port. The destination IP address of the Relayed Echo Reply is set to the next relay node address from the Relay Node Address Stack TLV, and both the source and destination UDP port is
