Hi Bob Thomas,

        As per LDP-07 draft it's mentioned that if a loop is detected in the 
  mapping message,then the status TLV must be appended to the release
  message.

       My doubt  is if the status TLV is appended to the release message
  for the loop detected case in the map message, is it  necessary to 
  forward down to the egress in the ordered control mode.
      i.e Is the forward bit has to be set in the status code??
    
       In the case of independent mode for the condition above the label  with 
   draw will be sent upstream . Is there any status TLV to be appended 
   for this with draw message sent upstream.
           
       As far as implementation we feel that it would be better to treat messages 
  other than Notif  message with status TLV's to be handled by well defined 
   events under appropriate LSP states.

      Looking for your valuable inputs,
 
  Thanks in advance,
   with regards
