Re: [IPFIX] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ipfix-mib-variable-export-05.txt

Hi All,

This is the latest version of the IPFIX MIB Export Draft that should resolve all the open
Todo items and review comments.

The structure or the document is now much improved and the architecture clarified.

The exporting of Sequence MIB Objects is now clear and unambiguous.

While it is still possible to specify the index for an individual field, exporting using
the mibObjectValueSequence structured data field is much simpler and efficient for sending
a complete or partial table.

The following are new examples added to the draft:
   5.3.  Exporting A Sequence Table: The OSPF Neighbor Sequence
   5.4.  Exporting Augmented Sequence Table: The IF-MIB id to name mapping
   5.8.  Exporting With Multiple Contexts: The OSPF Neighbor Sequence Revisited

This draft also calls out that the exporting process might not have an underlying SNMP
implementation or worry about indexing, and that the MIB Objects can be used purely as
extra types for IPFIX.

Thanks,
colin
