Hi all!
Thanks for your contributions!
I have still some issues regarding architecture, after discussing with
some colleagues...What is the difference between using "context based
addressing" and using a "proxy forwarder" to connect multiple devices
(sensors), using a switch, while sharing the same standard IETF MIBs in all
of them.
From what I've interpreted on the RFC document, it is not possible to
have multiple instances of the same MIB behind the proxy forwarder
application. Is this true? I now really confused!.. Could some one help me
explain the difference between these implementations?
Thanks for your reply!
Cheers!!
