HI,
I noticed that there are some conflicts with the data type definitions
in the SPPI I-D. The following assignment in the SPPI document:
Integer64 ::= [APPLICATION 7]
IMPLICIT INTEGER (-9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807)
conflicts with the following assignment from RFC 1442:
UInteger32 ::= [APPLICATION 7]
IMPLICIT INTEGER (0..4294967295)
The following assignment from the SPPI document:
Unsigned64 [APPLICATION 8] IMPLICIT INTEGER (0..18446744073709551615)
conflicts with the following assignment found in internet-draft
draft-perkins-float-00.txt:
FloatType ::= [APPLICATION 8] IMPLICIT OCTET STRING (SIZE(4))
Also in internet-draft draft-perkins-bigint-00.txt there are the
following definitions for signed and unsigned 64-bit integers:
-- A signed integer of up to 64 bits of precision.
I64Type ::= [APPLICATION 10] IMPLICIT
INTEGER (-9223372036854775808..9223372036854775807)
-- An unsigned integer of up to 64 bit of precision.
U64Type ::= [APPLICATION 11] IMPLICIT
INTEGER (0.. 18446744073709551615)
Note that the above assignments from the perkins I-Ds are in use
in the net-snmp distribution (previously called the UC-DAVIS SNMP
distribution). (See http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/)
Thus, I believe that the SPPI should be updated to use
"[APPLICATION 10]" and "[APPLICATION 11]" instead of
"[APPLICATION 7]" and "[APPLICATION 8]".
