Path Configuration Table

[[e-mail]]

Fddi MIB group,

  After reviewing the Path Configuration Table proposal put out on the
list I became suspicious that it wasn't consistent with the definition of
the table given in the SMT document (either that or it broke the
lexicographical ordering imposed by SNMP).  A brief description of the
problem - the token ordering of the resources inserted on the path could not
be preserved (if you'd like a better explanation send me some mail and I'll
go into more detail).
  I've conferred with Anil on this matter and he agrees that the Table is
inconsistent with the SMT document.  I sent him a version of the table that
I used in our implementation and, after a tweek to a object definition, we
have agreed to mutually present this table to the group (see below).
  One other question for the working group: was a consensus reached on
resource indexes?  More to the point, are the indexes used for PORTs and
MACs in SNMP the same or different as the indexes used for the same resource
in SMT  (i.e. if a PORT has a resource index of 5 in SMT must its resource
index be 5 in SNMP or can they be different) ?  Note that in the definitions
given below, it is assumed that the indexes are the same.
