Re: [IPFIX] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ipfix-mib-variable-export-04.txt

Hi All,

This is the latest version of the IPFIX MIB Export Draft based on the excellent
feedback from the previous version. Thanks to all the reviewers.

Several of the clear mistakes found in the reviews are resolved.

The major change in this version is that the mibObjectValue IE has been expanded
to multiple IEs based on the SYNTAX as documented in the SMIv2 RFC.

Also since the way the previous document described indexing was confusing and didn't
match the MIB RFCs that has been rewritten to refer to  exporting Sequences.

Individual MIB Objects that are part of a sequence are now refered to as columnar objects.

There might still be some scope for simplifying sequence export down further.

There is also a new template defined to refer to exporting complete SEQUENCES
as an option export. This should make exporting a simple IPFIX export of a complete
MIB Sequence/Conceptual table much simpler.

I'll be starting discussions on the mailer next week for some of the remaining
points.

Thanks,
colin
