Re: why i should like pibs

I tried to incorporate Dave's feedback and here is my updated list of
the major technical contributions of COPS-PR over SNMP:

a) TCP transport for large transactions when the network is up and
   running.

b) Reduced OID overhead and less degrees of freedom to achieve the same
   thing.

c) Improved data definition language. (There is disagreement how much
   improvement there really is.)

d) State sharing and one manager assumption for a given set of instance 
   data.

e) Some failover support built into the protocol.

Dave, do you agree with this revised list?
