Hi,
Please find below the AD review of
draft-ietf-adslmib-gbond-atm-mib-04.txt.
This document is in a good shape, but a new version is needed in order
to clarify and fix some of the issues raised in the review.
The comments below are marked T (Technical) and E (Editorial)
T1. In section 5.2:
The agent SHOULD align the beginning of each interval to a fifteen
minute boundary of a wall clock. Likewise, the beginning of each one
day intervals SHOULD be aligned with the start of a day.
Where does this requirement come from? If the source is another standard
I suggest to provide it. What is the rationale? What happens if this
requirement is not / cannot be met because for example the agent does
not have access to a 'wall clock'?
T2. The tables in this MIB module do not respect the naming convention
recommended in Annex C of RFC 4181:
- The descriptor associated with a conceptual table should be of the
form xxxZzzTable; the descriptor associated with the corresponding
conceptual row should be of the form xxxZzzEntry; the name of the
associated SEQUENCE type should be of the form XxxZzzEntry; and the
descriptors associated with the subordinate columnar objects should
be of the form xxxZzzSomeotherName.
T3. In the DESCRIPTION clause of a couple of objects I found the
following:
This object is read-only for the GBS-C and irrelevant for
the GBS-R ports.
What does 'irrelevant' mean? What should the agent do with these objects
for the GBS-R ports?
T4. Although not mandatory it is considered good practice to include
optional UNITS clauses in objects that define performance counts.
T5. In the DESCRIPTION clause of gBondAtmPortPerfCurr15MinTimeElapsed I
found:
This object partially maps to the TR-159 attribute
aGroupPerfCurr15MinTimeElapsed.
What does 'partially maps' mean?
T6. In several DESCRIPTION clauses I found:
This object is inhibited during Unavailable Seconds (UAS).
Please explain what 'inhibited' means.
