Ok, I'll bite on this one :-) If, using the definitions of N, B and R from the ID, B != R, then what should happen? If B < R I suppose the extra B's should be ignored but if R > B the most reasonable interpretation of the additional parameters seems to be as an unlimited GetBulk, is this correct? Then I have this to say regarding the implementation in net-snmp: For implementing this you really want a specialist handling, at least the AgentX module should like to get the raw request since GetRange(n,b,N1..Nn,B1..Bb,R1..Rr) is equivalent to AgentX-GetBulk(n,X,(N1,-)..(Nn,-),(R1,B1)..(Rz,Bz),(Rz+1,-)..(Rr,-)) where X is a sufficiently large value and z is min(b,r) This is subject to modification depending on the answer to the question above. /MF ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
