Re: Draft-ietf-bridge-bridgemib-smiv2 Issues Resolution

Dave,

The tcWhile timer is an internal state variable to indicate the
time remaining for the bridge to send configuration messages with
the topology change bit set.  The added text in the description of
the TimeSinceTopologyChange object just specifies from what point
in the RSTP topology change state machine the topology change
time is measured.  The "meaning" of the object is actually
unchanged.  I'm not sure how this would break an application.
