Hi,
As per RFC-5601 and RFC-5003, we have two types of 129 FEC configurations.

   - AII Type-1 (Peer Address, AGI, SAII, TAII)
   - AII Type-2 (AGI, Prefix, Global_Id and AC_ID)

What are the mib objects' and their values for supporting 129 FEC's AII Type
1 and Type 2 in the RFC-5601 and new expected mib objects (Global_ID, AC_ID
etc.,)?

We believe that to support AII Type-2,  values of
pwGenAGIType, pwGenLocalAIIType and pwGenRemoteAIIType objects should be 2
(AII Type-2). Please clarify.

*MIB objects of RFC-5601:*
pwGenAGIType OBJECT-TYPE
     SYNTAX        PwGenIdType
     MAX-ACCESS    read-create
     STATUS        current
     DESCRIPTION
         "This variable indicates the AGI type if generalized FEC
          (129) is used for PW signaling or configuration.  It SHOULD
          return the value of zero otherwise."
     DEFVAL { 0 }
     ::= { pwEntry 47 }

  pwGenLocalAIIType OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX        PwGenIdType
     MAX-ACCESS    read-create
     STATUS        current
     DESCRIPTION
         "This object is the type of the local forwarder
          attachment individual identifier (AII) to be used
          by this PW if generalized FEC (129) is used for PW
          signaling or configuration."
     DEFVAL { 0 }
     ::= { pwEntry 48 }

  pwGenRemoteAIIType OBJECT-TYPE
     SYNTAX        PwGenIdType
     MAX-ACCESS    read-create
     STATUS        current
     DESCRIPTION
         "This object is the type of the remote forwarder
          attachment individual identifier (AII) to be used
          by this PW if generalized FEC (129) is used for PW
          signaling or configuration."
     DEFVAL { 0 }
     ::= { pwEntry 49 }
