RE: MPLS and COPS



Just like Diffserv MIB and Diffserv PIB are in Diffserv working group,
I support the notion of having a TE PIB in parallel to TE MIB in
TE WG. I believe PIB approach is the right direction to take for
policy/administrative control over MPLS/TE.

PS: I have not followed the TE WG discussion which took place months
ago about the ADs deciding that policy should not be in TEWG charter.

Well, I can't comment on that except to say that I'm completely in 
agreement with you. You should direct your concerns to the ADs.
