Hello,

There should be an entry in the LDP entity table (mplsLdpEntityTable)
for each potential Session that you want to set up.  If using 
Targetted Hello's then that would mean one as it would be to a
specific address (or essentially a specific next-hop Peer).

yes, it should have or "disable the sending of the 
mplsLdpEntityFailedInitSessionThresholdExceeded trap. If enabled..."

"mplsLdpSessionState."

Sorry about that.  Not sure why it didn't make it into the
draft.  It is correct in the nroff version but not in the
text.
