Incidentally,
In GMPLS, bi-directional tunnels use the same route (in opposite directions) so
the ARHopTable will apply perfectly well.
As Tom says, the GMPLS TE MIB (come to the ccamp meeting and hear about it) will
support the GMPLS extensions.  For bi-directional LSPs the interesting point (in
this respect) will be additional features of the RRO such as label recording for
both directions.
