	Hi! Here are few questions/comments related to MPLS-TE MIB.
	Your help will be appreciated.
	
	Thanks,

	1. mplsTunnelInstancePriority, is significant only in the context
	of a Tunnel (group of tunnel instances). 

	Therefore, according to the MPLS-TE model,load sharing and 
	failover(primay-backup) mechanisms are valid ONLY within a 
	Tunnel and not across Tunnels.

	Is this the correct interpretation of the MIB ?

	2. Currently, the MPLS-TE MIB does not allow the user to 
	specify the traffic class (ex. DiffServ class) associated with 
	the Tunnel Instances.

	Although, one can define new MIBs to add the above mentioned
	feature, in my opinion, extending the existing (pre-RFC) MPLS-TE
	BIB, will significantly enhance the usability of the MIB. 
	
	Can/Should this be done?

	3. If you add the traffic class support to the mplsTunnelTable, 
	should this trafficClass be an (additional) index to the tunnel
table ?
	
	i.e. Should all the instances of a traffic tunnel have the same 
	traffic class ?
