Hi Wataru,

On the other hand, I could not understand why do you need M bit in Admin Status Object.
Why do not use A=1 ?
Is the objective of M bit to stop sending CCM temporally ?

The A bit is already defined as:
        When set, indicates that the local actions related to the
        "administratively down" state should be taken.

The I bit is additionally defined as:
        When set, indicates that alarm communication is disabled for
        the LSP and that nodes SHOULD NOT add local alarm information.

Neither of these is the same as the proposed M bit
When this bit is set the connectivity monitoring of the LSP is disabled.

So, yes, the proposal is that the M bit adds new function to turn off OAM processing on an LSP reqgardless of the administrative status of the LSP. Whether that is a useful function is up for discussion.
