The mplsTunnelHopTable is used to indicate the hops, strict or loose, for an MPLS tunnel defined in mplsTunnelTable, when it is established via signaling, for the outgoing direction of the tunnel. Each row in this table is indexed by mplsTunnelHopListIndex. Each row also has a secondary index mplsTunnelHopIndex corresponding to the next hop that this row corresponds to. The first row in the table is the first hop after the origination point of the tunnel. In case we want to specify a particular interface on the originating LSR of an outgoing tunnel by which we want packets to exit the LSR, we specify this as the first hop for this tunnel in

mplsTunnelHopTable.
