I can try and implement this approach during the next week, and have a
revised draft(s) done by next Monday

Hi Dan,

Sure, I don't want to go against any recommendations. This was only due
to my lack of MIB knowledge. The important thing is to get good
integration and extensibility.

Cheers

Magnus

RTP MIB and RTCP XR MIB, as a OID is just a pointer in the management
objects space. As long as the RTP MIB and RTCP XR MIB are different MIB
modules defined by two different documents I suggest that we follow the MIB
