Hello

I have the following doubt in <draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-mib-07.txt>.

Can someone please clarify me. Thanks.

1) mplsLdpEntityTable provides support for the creation of an LDP entity at
an LSR. In MplsLdpEntityEntry there exists MIB objects for configuring a
Targeted peer associated with the LDP entity.

My understanding/assumption was that a LDP Entity can have one or more
Targeted peers. Suppose if the LDP entity has more than one Targeted peer,
how this be configured? Should a new LDP entity be created for each Targeted
Peer that is accessible from an LSR?


2) The second paragraph - (reproduced below ) in section 3.7.1 is incomplete
and hence bit confusing.

---------
   The 'mplsLdpEntityFailedInitSessionTrapEnable' object is used to
   enable or disable the sending of the If enabled, then this trap is
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                    --->

   sent when the 'mplsLdpEntityFailedInitSessionThreshold' is exceeded.
   This notification should indicate to the operator that there may be a
   misconfigured mplsLdpEntityEntry because the session associated with
   this Entity is not being established, and the Entity keeps trying to
   establish the session.  A side effect of this situation is that a row
   in the mplsLdpSessionTable may not be reaching the operational state
   as indicated by the

thanks in advance
with best regards
