Some comments of draft-nitinb-lsp-ping-over-mpls-tunnel-01

General:

Section 3.2.3:

Operation Type
"A FEC Swap operation is to be simulated by including a POP type FEC change
sub-TLV followed by a PUSH type FEC change sub-TLV."

During the ITU-T SG15 ad hoc meeting on T-MPLS in February, the ITU model
(G.8110) of MPLS was discussed.  G.8110 models a SWAP as a POP followed by a
PUSH and at least one of the IETF representatives at the meeting expressed
the view that modelling a SWAP as a POP followed by a PUSH did not
sufficiently describe the behaviour as per the MPLS architecture (RFC3031).

You appear to be doing the same here, so is modelling a SWAP as a POP
followed by a PUSH sufficient in this context?

Remote peer address
"If the operation type is POP, the remote peer address MAY not be set to
Unspecified."

I find the use of the term "MAY not" confusing.  If you really mean MAY then
as it is optional, IMO the not is superfluous.
