In fact, text says "A collection of endnodes with the same P_Key in their P_Key Tables are referred to as being members of a partition, or in a partition. A P_Key Table can specify one of two types of partition membership: Limited or Full." So, I think that you should choose a different name, if this is needed. Also, how do you propose to use this new definition? By the way, a nit: the MIB also defines the "IbSmPortList". Can it be called "IbSmaPortList" or "IbPortList"?
