For each different type, there is a natural/preferred format, but there is no format valid across all different types. When the type is for IP multicast tree, it would be natural to display it as an IP adress, but when the type is for an LSP, it depends on the MPLS signaling protocol (mLDP, P2MP RSVP-TE)... I don't know if there is a better solution than to display a hexadecimal byte string. > a-2) In the case that there is no preferred format, > the MIB doctor request us to show some actual > examples of the Tunnel Identifier. > Is there any good reference to see the actual examples? Not as far as I know. I don't think there is any canonical way to display, e.g. the <Extended Tunnel ID, Reserved, Tunnel ID, P2MP ID> tuple of an RSVP-TE P2MP LSP SESSION Object. > > b) Required information to identify a particular P-tunnel > > l2L3VpnMcastPmsiTunnelAttributeTable defined in L2L3-VPN-MCAST- > MIB > is a table to provide P-tunnel information. > Currently the index of this table is composed of > information objects representing Flags, Tunnel Type, > MPLS Label, and Tunnel Indentifier in > delivered in PMSI Tunnel Attribute. > I think the index must be composed only of minimal > objects to identify a particular P-tunnel. > Thus, Tunnel Type and Tunnel Indentifier are required > for the index as described in Sec. 7.4.1.1 of RFC6513, > but Flags is not required. > > b-1) How about MPLS Label? Is it required to be included in the > index? Doing lookups in this table based on an MPLS label does not look like something natural to do, given that the label allocated may change over time. I would be tempted to answer no to your question. -Thomas > 2017-07-09 14:11 GMT+02:00 Glenn Mansfield Keeni <glenn@cysols.com>: > > L2L3-VPN-MCAST-TC-MIB is almost OK. > > smilint gives warnings > > (snip) > > L2L3-VPN-MCAST-TC-MIB:112: [5] {type-without-format} warning: > > type > > `L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId' has no format specification > > This may be avoided by specifying a format in which the > > L2L3VpnMcastProviderTunnelId should be printed. > > Is there a preferred format?
