Hi,

I have sent some questions regarding the IF_Num of DSMAP TLV before. I'd like to make sure it is not lost.

  2.1.  New address type for Downstream Mapping TLV
   The new address type indicates that no address is present in the
   DSMAP or DDMAP TLV.  However, IF_Num information (see definition of
   "IF_NUM" in [I-D.ietf-mpls-tp-identifiers]) for both ingress and
   egress interfaces, as well as multipath information is included in
   the format and MAY be present.


I believe the "IF_Num" can be used for per-interface MIP model.
But I'm not sure why we need use both "ingress IF_Num" and "egress IF_Num" in a DSMAP TLV.
I can't find this case (Ingress_IF::Egress_IF) in [I-D.ietf-mpls-tp-identifiers].

 e.g.) the following are defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-tp-identifiers] using "IF_Num", but there is no Ingress_IF::Egress_IF.
 - "IF_ID" 
    IF_ID is a 64-bit identifier formed as Node_ID::IF_Num.    
 - "MIP ID"
   For a MIP which is associated with particular interface, we simply
   use the IF_ID (see Section 4) of the interfaces which are cross-
   connected. 

If have any special means in the "IF_Num", I think MUST mention it clearly.
Also I feeling that this draft have to clarify the responder's behavior for each IF information of the "IF_Num".


Best regards,
zhenlong
