Re: Psudo WG Last Call for: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ops-taddress-mib-02.txt



Hi,
    The following are the comments on the taddress-mib-02 draft.
some are cosmetic others require discussion:

Page-4 Sec-3 para 1. s/following definitions/follwing/    

Page-5 3.1.1 TransportAddressType appears for the first time
            Would it be better to move this section towards the end
            of the document or someplace after TransportAddressType
            is defined.

Page-7 definition of transportDomainUdpIpv4z you have used the
            term "non-global" which is correct. But "private"   may be 
            better those are the terms that appear in RFC1597 (?)

Technical issues:

There are provisions transportDomainUdpIpv4 (global + non-global)
and transportDomainUdpIv4z (non-global)  and similarly for TCP and 
v6. But,  what about the global domain - for which the corresponding 
addresses *are* from the global pool ? I would think it is necessary. 

More important - this affects us and implementations on all dual (v4/v6)  
stack systems rightaway- 

     There is the need for the following transport domains:
                      transportDomainUdpIpv4OrIpv6 and 
                      transportDomainTcpIpv4OrIpv6
     which will be used when the underlying IP transport (version) is 
     either unknown or unspecified. (as far as the command generators 
     are concerned, in the SNMP context).
