        Hi,

        Responses are highlighted in blue.


It is not clear to me how to represent a bi-directional tunnel with the MIB.
Some of my confusion may come from the fact that I don't understand the
mplsTunnelDirection object. For example, what does it mean to have this object
set to "bi-directional"? Does it mean that this row refers to a bi-directional
tunnel? Does the TunnelDirection (in, out) have any significance at the tunnel
midpoint? What role does the cookie (or the lack of one!) play in
bi-directional tunnels?

        We will remove this object since it is a vestage from the
time when we had bi-directional tunnels in mind (this will be
removed along with the cookie objects). This will instead be replaced
by an object which indicates whether the LSR is a tunnel src, dst, or
intermediate point.
