         No. The traffic parameters which are there were
agreed upon a while ago, and are appropriate for what
we were chartered to do. The MPLS-TE-MIB will not
directly support DiffServ-aware TE  because it is so new.
We have been directed to finish up  the MIB now, so waiting
for the D-A-TE work to be completed  by the WG(s) is
not an option.

         I am preparing an extension to the TE MIB as a
companion to the other DiffServ-aware TE documents I am
working on with Francois et al. I will have it ready for
the next IETF meeting.
