A kind of little programming exercise I would say. Is the assumption
that all columns which do not have a DEFVAL have to be set? The point
is that the SMIv2 does not really say which set of columns have to
be written to create a row and so one has to do wild guesses to get
an answer to the question you have raised. And of course, we can only
calculate the PDU size and not the message size since this depends on
many other factors.

Perhaps we should just declare 484 dead. :-)
