Remaining Work

• Expand conformance statements to provide support
  for configuring/monitoring tunnel resources in
  GMPLS systems (e.g. SONET/SDH or G.709)
• Extend the performance tables for
  technology-specific GMPLS LSPs
• Consider a way to expose tunnel head, tunnel
  tail, and tunnel transit entries through
  additional tables
• Add support for IF_ID control and error reporting
  (i.e. add to notifications).
• Add LSR or interface config for Hellos and
  restart options

Issues

• Determine whether the 'discriminated union' in
  the Label Table is good
• Do we want to be able to see/configure sub-fields
  of labels?
• Is it enough to use octet string and type code?
• Should we have separate objects for different
  label types as in current draft
• Who has implemented which versions?
• Remarkably little feedback received
