Re: draft-ietf-vrrp-unified-mib-07.txt MIB Dr. Review

Thanks Joan,
	Most of the comments are clear to me now. I Will try to finalize the draft this week.

Yes.  Those indexes uniquely identify the vr, so essentially, the tables are 
listed
by vr.   Please note, this is only a suggestion/proposal and the indexing is 
upto the
WG.  I didn't see any comments about this during Last Call, so as far as I'm 
aware
this is good with the WG, right?

[Kalyan>] I did not see any comments either. So I will change the indexing.

No, I wasn't suggesting a new MIB module, but definitely a new TC is needed.
This should have a name that indicates v3 and TC like:   Vrrpv3VrIdTC.

After reading this over again, would like to keep your original description, 
but switch
the wording from:

"A number which, along with the IP version and interface index (IfIndex), 
serves..."

to:

"A number which, along with the interface index (IfIndex) and the IP 
version, serves...."

(If you agree with the proposed indexes (above) for  the 
vrrpv3OperationsTable, etc.,
then the proposed wording above for the TC agrees.  In other words, the 
ordering for the
indexes agrees with how this TC is worded.

[Kalyan>] I misunderstood your originally comment. I will change as you proposed.

[Kalyan>] Thanks
Kalyan
