RE: MIB module terminology

["Harrington, David" <dbh@enterasys.com>]

Hi,

The only people I ever see get concerned by the plural "MIBs" or the distinction between MIB and mib module are the SNMP protocol designers. Everybody else in the world, including developers, field personnel, and operators, seem to understand that it MIB means mib module, and MIBs means multiple mib modules. 

I vote we eliminate the CLR that says one must always distinguish MIB and MIB module.

 ...  when I read some
documents, it is really strange how they use the term MIB and MIBs.
Specifically the plural "MIBs" get people confused I think.
