Hello Thomas

I accept your suggestion to use the mplsTunnelHopIpv4Addr for
the required need of LSPID ER Hop with the needed modification
in the description. 

thanks and best regards
mani

Subject: RE: Last call on MPLS TE MIB



         Let me be a little more precise with my last statement
regarding this proposed addition. Why don't we just re-use
the mplsTunnelHopIpv4Addr, and if the value is set to
lspid, modify the description of the hopAddrType slightly
to allow the mplsTunnelHopIpv4Addr or mplsTunnelHopIpv6Addr
to be set as well in this case?
