#12 Creation/Deletion

[David Harrington <dbh@enterasys.com>]

Discussion:

draft-ietf-rap-sppi-06.txt has Install-ERRORS as part of the SPPI
grammar. Both SMI and SPPI discuss "read-create". rfc2578.txt discusses
using the MAX-ACCESS clause to indicate whether it makes protocol sense
to create an instance of an object. As I see it, both recognize the need
to be able to create "things" in the protocol. RFC2579 has the RowStatus
T-C which explicitly discusses how to delete a "thing" in the protocol.
SPPI, in the description of the ReferenceID, explicitly discusses
deleting an instance of a PRI. All of these discussions of
creation/deletion are found in the SMI/SPPI documents, not in the SNMP
or COPS/PR protocol documents.
