Hi Ranga,

Sorry for the pre-mature send.

You could indeed do this with “model”.  The reason I hadn’t thought of that was because in my mind, same-manufacturer and model were for NxN communications, and that it might be a hint to the NMS to use appropriate scale mechanisms.  But that’s not actually in the text.

I think, by the way, that there’s another reason to think about doing this from the controller side: if the standards are open like we like them to be, a device may not know who should be the controller for a particular device or class.
