Per Bob Jeckell's request, the following are excerpts of Karen's comments on
the ATPortPToP group in the AT MIB+.
> Was Karen's explanation via email or verbal?  Can you share her comments to
> the list?
 
Regarding the ATPortPToP group in general, Karen said:
> There used to be an oid in atportPtoP for RTMP, but it was removed.  I think
> people decided the oids should list transport protocols, not routing
> propagation protocols, so RTMP was removed.  I don't think this precludes
> running RTMP over a link if you want to, though.
 
Regarding RTMP on a point to point link:
> If the link is a point-to-point link I don't see why it wouldn't be
> listed here, whether it's running RTMP or not. The atportPtoP group is
> an extension of the atportTable, used to list information specific to
> point-to-point links.
 
Regarding AURP & its address on a point to point link:
> The thought was that the AURP address, when AURP is running over IP,
> will have more than just an IP address (for example, the domain
> identifier), so just saying IP wasn't good enough.  That's why AURP says
> to look at the AURP MIB to see what the address should look like.
