Re: Compressing Large Indices?

Hi Mark,

I just want to understand your comment correctly. 

When you say "we" to whom are you referring?
When you say "this exchange" are you referring to an exchange explicitly
related to this MIB module, or to the issue of integer versus
human-readable indexes?

Thanks,
Just trying to limit misunderstandings,
