Hello,

I've got 2 question regarding draft-nadeau-mpls-lc-if-mib-00:

1. The object mplsLcAtmVcMerge (from its description) is indicating ATM VC Merge capability of the LC-ATM interface, and is somewhat independent from the VC-Merge LDP configuration in mplsLdpEntityAtmMergeCap (MPLS-LDP-ATM-MIB). Similarly, the mplsLdpEntityAtmLsrConnectivity (MPLS-LDP-ATM-MIB) is specifying the LDP Connectivity configuration for LC-ATM (direct vs. indirect) but the connectivity can also be a property of LC-ATMs. Would it make sense to include an mplsLcAtmConnectivity object in mplsLcAtmIfConfEntry (MPLS-LC-ATM-MIB) to account for direct vs. indirect LC-ATM interfaces?

2. Would it be useful to include ATM OAM cell generation/looping in the control/unlabeled_traffic PVCs? That can include capability (of generating/looping OAM cells), status (ON/OFF), timers (frequency/retry) and counters (retry).

Thanks,

--Carlos.
