Hamid,
thanks, that is great input.
Would it possible for you to write up the three approaches in some
more detail in an Internet draft before the Stockholm Internet-Draft
deadline?
SNMP clearly is an important protocol, but has been criticized for
LoWPAN usage for three reasons:
1) relatively expensive (implementation, bytes in packet) encoding
2) expensive security model of SNMPv3
3) "server polls" does not fit well with sleeping battery-operated
nodes.
So solutions that address one or more of these items would be very
welcome.
In addition, the Edge Router is a likely candidate for a MIB.
The Whiteboard certainly is one of the data structures any network
manager would want to look at with SNMP. Nodes might want to drop
additional information for SNMP access there through appropriate NR
options so they don't have to answer GETs themselves.
Gruesse, Carsten
