My review of draft-ietf-mpls-tp-mib-management-overview-05.txt

It was a quick review, so that you have some idea of what I looked at.

For a real review, I think it would take a lot of time.

But feel free to use my comments as you see fit.
As long as people realize that it was a quick skim and not a detailed review

I did a skim of the document.
- It seems to give an in depth overview of the current
  MIB modules in MPLS related space and also it lists
  identified gaps if those MIB modules need to support
  MPLS-TP space.
- it looks to be in reasonable (good enough I guess)
  shape for publication as Informational RFC modulo
  some remarks below.
- I did not go and check all the details and related
  documents. So I cannot claim that I have verified
  all (in fact any) of the statements.
- I wonder if the "may be extended" and "can be
  extended" in the various subsections in section 5
  are intended to mean different things. I think not.
  To me it all sounds like "this could be done, but we
  doubt anyone will do it, or at least not in IETF".
- Section 6 however DOES define what needs to be done
  in terms of new MIB modules, so that is promising.
- I see in sect 6.1.2 that a MEP Identifier TC needs
  to be defined. Is this a similar identifier as the
  MEP Identifier defined in IEEE 802.1ag? Probably not,
  but someone should probably check at the time they
  start developing this MPLS-TP-TC  MIB module.
- sect 6.2.1 sems to want tio place a TC MIN module
  directly under "transmission". I am not sure that is
  the proper place.

So I am not sure how useful my short review is, other
than to say that a document like this (assuming the data
is correct and complete) is helpful for people who need
to implement Network Management systems for MPLS and
MPLS-TP based systems.

The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching
WG
(mpls) to consider the following document:
- 'Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) MIB-based
    Management Overview'
   <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-mib-management-overview-05.txt>  as an
Informational
RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2011-12-12. Exceptionally, comments may
be
sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


    A range of Management Information Base (MIB) modules has been
    developed to help model and manage the various aspects of
    Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks.  These MIB modules are
    defined in separate documents that focus on the specific areas of
    responsibility of the modules that they describe.

    The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of MPLS
    functionality specific to the construction of packet-switched
    transport networks.

    This document describes the MIB-based architecture for MPLS-TP,
    and indicates the interrelationships between different existing MIB
    modules that can be leveraged for MPLS-TP network management and
    identifies areas where additional MIB modules are required.
