Unless you really need an IETF standard MIB to proceed, I suggest an extension table. If the IETF MIB gets updated one day, the code will probably be reusable.

That's fine and dandy if you have the time and inclination for the extended interaction needed for design by committee. That would be great, but if not, don't run away until after submitting your patch. :-) DS> Particularly if this information is likely to prove useful to a wider range DS> of architectures than simply Linux systems.

I would rather have separate HostRes extensions from several people than have to wait around for one person to create a single HostRes extension for several platforms. It's easier to create a unified table later if there is working code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
