All,
Please refer to below e-mail traffic...
Maybe the tables in the Framework PIB need to be relooked at....in my opinion the frwk802Filter extension to the frwkBaseFilterTable is not global to all COPS-PR clients. The specific filter definitions should be included in a separately specified PIB. Let me know if I am offbase here...
Thanks,

Tina,
In a word, yes. 802 issues are not part of this WG's charter. Either RAP or ISSLL would need to tackle this one. (I don't mean to suggest it is unimportant - but WGs need to stick to their charters.)
