         That would be the TE-MIB not the MPLS-TE-MIB; there is
a difference. The latter is in WG last call, so the addition
of new stuff like link bundling is not an option at this point.
I have heard that the TE-MIB was requested to go into last call
shortly as well. Therefore, I would recommend doing link bundling
in a separate document which can augment the MPLS-TE-MIB's interface
table and can be tracked separately as the work progresses.
