MIB is not the territory of configuration management alone. There are 
lot of stuff in MIB which might be useful in many other places.
 
The recent interest is measuring application level performance 
(for example IP telephony performance measurement.) Hence,will the 
group also work on defining MIB objects for such performace 
measurements or is it out of scope?
 
The frame work document also talks a possible example use of psamp
as observation of network behaviour. For example, some of the packet based 
intrusion detection methods (like Bro.) cannot provide all the packets of 
interest or do not accurately define the exact format of our interest. 
So, should we also come up with some MIB objects for mechanisms like 
packet capture?
