Dear Authors, et al.,
RFC 7260 describes the procedures for OAM configuration and control via RSVP-TE. RFC 7467 further extends this to provide procedures to configure pro-active OAMs like BFD, FMS etc. 
I have a query regarding the usage of RSVP-TE to carry the OAM configurations from the MPLS-TP tunnel ingress to the tunnel egress.Considering that the MPLS-TP bi-directional LSP has been established statically and the requirement is to only signal the OAM entities, I have the following assumptions:   
   - An IGP path must be established between the MPLS-TP tunnel's ingress and egress LERs.
   - The MPLS-TP node_id of and LER/LSR, defined here, will also be configured as that LER's/LSR's loopback interface's address.
   - The IGP will ensure that each LER/LSR learns about all the LSRs/LERs along the MPLS-TP transport path.
   - RSVP-TE will use this IGP path to send/receive the PATH/RESV messages.

Are these assumptions correct?Or, should there be a GMPLS control-plane adjacency between LERs/LSRs along the MPLS-TP path with the TE links on these nodes acting as the MPLS-TP NNI interfaces?
Thanks and Regards,Naveen T
