RE: comments/review <draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-00.txt>
I have one more concern. It is something I run into
very often when reviewing MIB modules. And that is
Naming Conventions for descriptors.
- We want them to all start with the same prefix within
one module (to make it easier to prevent clashes with
other IETF stds track modules). So if module is
xxxMIB
Then I want all descriptors to start with xxx, e.g.
xxxSomeotherName
- For a table, I like it if they have
xxxZzzTable
Then I prefer to see objects in that table as
xxxZzzSomeotherName
so we can easily see which objects are from which table
- I like it if, when they do use abbreviations, that they
use them consistently. Sometimes I see
xxxRemAddress
xxxRemoteAddr
xxxDestinationAddress
xxxDestAddr
xxxDstAddr
I guess you get the gist
- For TCs that are not generic, I like them to also
start with the prefix, e.g.
XxxSomethinOrOtherTC
I think I would like it to also be one of the checkpoints in
appendix A.
Do people find this to much of another CLR ??
Thanks,
