Thanks Dave for these clarifications on the "holes issue". I think that newer RFCs or drafts should contain a few more lines of explanations. > So there's no requirement to check the index values - they're all > guaranteed to refer to the same row.

However, I would not agree that there is no requirement to check the index values - in my opinion, a SNMP library that checks agent's responses should be paranoic here - and gurantee that the response is really the one that a manager expects and that it is completely correct. This approach allowed us to quickly detect bugs in our agent implementation. Best regards, Marek
