RE: RE: [MIB-DOCTORS] Mandatory Requirementforconfigurationby SNMP

Hi,

Yes, I appreciated Dave's insightful observations (esp. wrt things like
quantifying "timely" and being more precise about multi-manager
operations when stipulating requirements), but agree with Randy (per
below) wrt the MUST vs SHOULD implications of them.

Cheers,
BobN

These are all strong arguments for retaining the current MUSTs.
I'm even more puzzled by the suggestion to replace them with
SHOULDs.
