>1.) Appropriateness of using DSCP (differentiated services code >point) as a forwarding table index.
I agree. As you point out, it was chosen because it was the obvious translation from TOS, but I was never completely comfortable with it. I never came up with a replacement that I was very happy with so I didn't suggest anything else; I didn't think of an OID. The thing that I really wanted was something that's composable, e.g. the ability to have two or more axes along which you can represent different routes, like source prefix *and* DSCP. It's possible to do this with the OID but requires defining an OID per combination. This is probably OK since there will probably be a few common combinations. >2.) Appropriateness of offering only a full compliance statement >when all reported implementations of the predecessor MIB (RFC 2096) >provide just read-only access. This may have simply been an oversight. I agree that a read-only implementation should be compliant. >3.) MIB changes that appear either to be gratuitous (replacing >ipRouteDiscards with inetCidrRouteDiscards) or erroneous >(not providing inetCidrRouteNumber) and which are inconsistent >with the text of Section 8. The IP-MIB revision (draft-ietf-ipv6-rfc2011-update-01.txt) deprecates ipRouteDiscards and ipv6DiscardedRoutes in favor of inetCidrRouteDiscards. The thought was that you can't tell whether an ipRouteDiscards counts v4-only (as it would if a system implemented RFC2011+2465) or both, so it's better to define a new object with well defined semantics. If we decide that's not a good justification, we should remove inetCidrRouteDiscards and un-deprecate ipRouteDiscards in 2011-update. I agree that there should be an inetCidrRouteNumber.
