Everything else must have an explicit length. Otherwise, consider 1.2.3.4.5.6.1.1.2.3.97.98.99.100 Is this a full OID with indexes "abc" and 100, or is it a partial OID with index "abcd" and no integer index? [That all assumes a variable-length string value. Fixed-length strings are handled differently. See the RFC for details] > what if other index is IP address .

With this second encoding, how could an SNMP program tell the difference between indexes of: "a" and "bcxyz" "ab" and "cxyz" "abc" and "xyz" "abcx" and "yz" "abcxy" and "z" or even "abcxyz" and "" "" and "abcxyz" ?
