Title: ipsp-policy-pib

Thanks for that info. But I was asking about the PIB (not MIB) and specifically

about the use of some INET-ADDRESS-MIB TCs. This doc has been on agenda

for (for Informational) a while and basically has been OKed except for me still

bitching about details. So I wondered if it was just me... or if my worries are real

 

Thanks,
Bert

Hi,

 

I have been reviewing portions of the mib, and have had our engineers look at the mib for possible implementation. The engineers and I find this mib rather overblown compared to what we actually need to manage. I believe we offer competitive feature sets, and expect other vendors will have similar needs for management.

 

The mib has lots of knobs we see no use for in our implementation, and we question whether other vendors will find some of the details necessary. If I were designing a theoretical database model, I might choose to include all the knobs and separate tables. As a vendor working to produce easy-to-manage devices, I find simplicity is better than unnecessary complexity in mib design.

 

I have not had time to do a detailed review and send comments to the ipsp wg, nor have my engineers. I have asked my engineers to simply send email comments as they run into items they find less than useful rather than wait until they have time to do a thorough review. I hope to provide a more thorough review than my engineers will be able to do, and post my comments to the ipsp wg, but I cannot guaranteee when that will be. If it moves to Proposed Standard in the meantime, then I can always file it as an implementation report.

What do people think of the use of INET-ADDRESS-MIB TCs
in document draft-ietf-ipsp-ipsecpib-07.txt

See specifically The ipSecAddressTable

I am sort of too overloaded to do detailed checking on PIB
documents. At the other hand... strange things are being
done as far as I can tell.

Thanks,
Bert
