Over the past few weeks, I have been getting a number of clarification questions about the Phase IV mib. I am posting two here for one person who to this point has not had a mail address - he is working with his company to fix that. The first question is on phivCountersCountEntry 7 which is: The number of multicast bytes received. I was asked why we did not also have MulticastBytesSent. As near as I can tell this may have been an oversight in the early days of Phase IV decnet since it is not in any of the reference documents that I can see. If people really feel this is Mandatory, I suppose this could be put in when we make the typo corrections in preparation for movement to draft, though this is a way off. The second question was to discover if there is a mechanism to count data blocks sent to individual adjacencies on an ethernet. Currently there is a way to cound total blocks - but not on an individual node basis. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that it is possible to hae different block sizes for each of your adjacencies. /jon
