The "host" group implements the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (RFC 2790). This is a standard representation of certain characteristics common to most "hosts". > What about the "hardware" ? The hardware group is somewhat different. It doesn't actually implement any particular MIB at all. Instead, it provides a common source of data, that can be used by other MIB implementations. The rationale behind this was the recognition that there is a large amount of overlap between the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (the standard representation of host information), and elements of the UCD-SNMP-MIB (an early Net-SNMP-specific representation of similar information). Initially, we had duplicate code to retrieve this host-related information from the underlying operating system - possibly in slightly different ways, and potentially giving subtly different results. The idea of the "hardware" group is to have a single set of code for retrieving this information, that can then be used by both the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB and UCD-SNMP-MIB modules. So there'll just be one set of code to maintain, and the information reported will be consistent, regardless of which MIB is used to make the query. That's the goal, anyway - we're not there yet.
