All,
The MIB doctor asked if we should throttle the generation of MIB 
notifications for associations going up/down.

So far I've assumed that the CE protects itself against a DoS attack by 
throttling the rate at which it accepts associations. As a consequence, 
I don't believe throttling of MIB notifications is needed.

What's your opinion?

Regards,
