Calling all LMP MIB implementors [Was: Re: RFC4327 LMP MIB]



Hi,

Tom has correctly caught a small issue that proves that even the MIB
Doctor review process does not catch all nits.

As Tom says, the correct values of TruthValue are true(1) and false(2).

Fortunately, I think that these errors are unlikely to have caused
implementation errors because people will use the named variables, not the
absolute values.

However, this is a heads-up that we will spin a bis to clean this up. If
you think that fixing the errors listed below will cause you an
interoperability problem, please let me know immediately.

At the same time, please let us know of any other issues with this MIB
module.

Thanks,
Adrian

We have the following errors...
