Re: SNMP improvements



Can we setup an SNMP WG independent of IETF to carry
out innonvations in the field of SNMP to take stuff
like SMIv3, SMIng further.

Since SNMP is a foundation protocol for NMS i believe
innovation with changing times in this field will be
imperative.

My 2 cents...

thx,

Chintan Sheth
