Yes, we can define the LSP as we wish or by means of an automatic way (using
LDP, for example). The MIB has extensions for all these cases.
I have created a SNMP agent for MPLS for Linux that right now allows the
creation of LSP in a hop-by-hop way, by hand. I will publish this agent at
Source Forge this up to this weekend. It follows MIB MPLS-LSR and MIB
MPLS-FTN. I do not finish the MIB MPLS-TE.
It will be great if someone continues this work and creates the support to
LDP and MIB MPLS-TE.

Yes, the MIB does support, and the SNMP agent I mentioned too.
