Sharam,

What's reason to change?

Again, currently, there is no RFC restricting to DOWN-MEP as you know.
And, the fugure in our draft is just example.

Here, what I'd like to make clear is that
our draft focuses on only MIP targetting framework.
This means MEP definition is out of scope in our darft,
but should be in RFC6371.
If you want to add/remove something to/from MEP definition,
you should talk with the authors of RFC6371.

If there is one reason for me to change the fugure in our draft,
Down-MEP may be more popular than Up-MEP.
Normally, An example should be described using the most popular case.
If you say so, it is possible to consider to change.

Thanks,
Hideki Endo

But if you think about it logically LSPs can't have UP-MEP because LSP can carry many PWs and each PW may enter the LSP from a different port/interface.  PWs can have UP-MEP but only for P2P services (VPWS), otherwise they can't have UP-MEP either (same as LSP).

Even if the scope of the draft is UP-MIP, considering that there can't be a MIP without a MEP,  the draft should have some wording regarding UP-MEPs and their applicability to LSPs and PWs. I would also argue that LSPs can't have UP-MEPs, since PWs from many ingress ports can enter an LSP  and therefore the LSP can't start on the ingress interface.
