This MIB contains several 'enumerations' except they are not enumerations but text in DESCRIPTION clauses - gmplsTunnelGPid gmplsTunnelSwitchingType gmplsTunnelLSPEncoding - with RFC 3471 (not a MIB) as a reference. So these are not defined anywhere in SMI; and as this points out, these values will be added to in future RFC. I think these should be in a MIB under IANA control and there is already a way to do just that, namely to put them in an IANA MIB (as opposed to a standards track MIB) with the RFC specifying under what conditions the IANA MIB can be updated (standards track, IESG, expert etc). This procedure is described in draft-ietf-ops-mib-review-guidelines-04.txt which also points to previous examples of this. And this issue has already surfaced, albeit obliquely, on this list once before in the context of IANAItuProbableCause which uses this procedure and is now published as part of the Alarm MIB (RFC 3877). Not to do this now creates extra work in the future; when an implementor has to create their own SMI and whenever these values need to be updated. Tom Petch
