RE: Re: Re: MIB Dr. Review ofdraft-ietf-vrrp-unified-mib-0 5.txt

RFC4181 is clear about what to do about warnings w.r.t. 
max number of subids in an OID because of INDEX
object that (in theory) can go beyond 128.

See sect 4.6.6 in RFC4181.

And PLEASE DO Keep the specifics in MODULE-COMPLIANCE.
That shows which exact addressTypes and related max lengths
MUST be supported for compliance.

Hope this helps,
Bert
