Hi Kireeti,

Draft-kompella-mpls-te-mib-00.txt has objects which
are not specific to TE per se, but to monitor general information
about LSPs  -- (specifically objects under the mplsInfo
branch and about half of the objects in the mplsLspList (Table)).

Is there any plan to separate this document into 2 documents?  There
is a natural division for LSP objects in a separate document
from TE objects, and I would like to see this happen.
MPLS LDP implementations, for example, could support the LSP objects but
could not support the TE objects. 

Secondly, could you tell me what the plans are for defining objects
which would tie LDP Session manipulation (as defined in the LDP MIB)
and this this MIB?  The prime example would be Session teardown 
which happens as a result of user interaction with the LDP MIB.
How do you see the LDP MIB and this MIB (in different working groups)
being co-ordinated?   Are you also going to define objects which allow
the LDP Sessions and this MIBs LspLists to interact?  I would like
to understand what course of action is going to be taken  
with regard to LDP and the LDP MIB since this MIB clearly involves LDP.

Lastly, is the TE working group going to be developing MIBs and/or PIBs? 
In my opinion this is not clear from the working group's charter.

   Thank you, Joan
