RE: Action item from yesterday's meeting

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your input. I must not have communicated correctly, if I gave the
impression that the change proposed is not within the scope of MIB. The
proposed change would be well within the scope of the MIB. However, I did
suggest that the changes need not be retrofitted to the semantics draft.

I really do believe, the change to the MIB draft is fairly simple. But, the
benefits are big as the change will help support all flavors of NAT. This is
what I communicated to Christian and I stick by that. NATs after all perform
translations between two address realms. That is exactly what the change is all
about.

Thanks. 

regards,
suresh
