Tom,

I am an operator with MPLS deployed in my network. For fault management
purposes, I need to know the following:

	-> which LSPs are broken
	-> which LSPs are sub-optimally routed
	-> which LSPs have reset

Using Kireeti's MIB, I can answer these questions by polling the following
items:

	-> mplsLspState
	-> mplsPathType
	-> mplsLspLastPathChange

This is pretty simple.

Couldn't this level of abstraction be applied to any MPLS implementation?

Please re-orient me if I am missing some very fundamental issue.
