Hi:

I have two questions of MplsLSPID defined in this MIB:

1. It states in this MIB:
(MplsLSPId): "A unique identifier within an MPLS network that is assigned to
each LSP. This is assigned at the head end of the LSP and can be used by all
LSRs to identify this LSP...For LSPs signaled using RSVP-TE, the LSP ID is
defined as a 16-bit (2 byte) identifier used in the SENDER_TEMPLATE..."
My question is: How does a head end LSR assign a "MPLS network unique" LSPID
for a LSP in case the signaling is RSVP-TE? In RFC3209, it says: "The
SENDER_TEMPLATE object together with the session object uniquely identifies
an LSP tunnel." Does MplsLSPId definition conflict with RFC3209?

2. A "mplsXCLspId" object is defined in XC table of LSR MIB while MplsLSPId
is only used for CR-LDP and RSVP-TE. My question is: In case of LDP, how do
we populate mplsXCLspID's value?

Thanks for your reply!

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
