Ping,
Here are some functions to consider. I am sure others can add to this list.

1) We need a function that can detect defects automatically and trigger corrective actions This function should also support statically configured MPLS networks.
2) We need a function to detect not only LSP breaks and miss-routing but also defects such as LSP replication into another LSP.
3) We need a function to immediately suppress the user traffic at the egress PE when an LSP is routed-routed. 
4) To support PWE3 applications, we need a function to generate AIS for the tunneled circuits at the egress PE, when a defect is detected in the MPLS network.
5) We need a function to measure LSP performance accurately.
6)
