last call comment on draft-ietf-tewg-mib-01.txt

[Juergen Schoenwaelder <schoenw@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>]

Below is a comment I posted on 17 Oct 2001 to the WG list. I never got
a response. So I am trying again - this time as a WG last call comment.

: I agree with Brian that you should be using the InetAddress TC
: definitions. It is unclear to me who an AS number can identify a "hop
: address" - so its kind of hard to tell what the right solution is.
: (Perhaps some text should be added to the document which better
: explains the tunnel endpoint concept you are using.)

: There are some more SMIv2 issues. For example, the teTunnelName should
: be not-accessible. It does not make sense to make it
: accessible-for-notify so that it can be included in notifications
: since the value of the teTunnelName will be automatically part of the
: instance identifier of the tePathName parameter. I also suggest to not
: use IMPLIED. Also, some objects should probably use Unsigned32 instead
: of Integer32 (assuming that e.g. negative bandwidth does not make
: sense).
