I've just read this document and I've got some comments/questions:

(1) I'm not sure I understand the relationship to the diagnostics draft.
They seem to
occupy much of the same space in terms of use cases.

(2) The general concept of this draft seems to be that there is a set of
devices/peers
which are allowed to be management devices in the SNMP sense. Given the
relatively unstructured nature of the p2p network I wonder how much people
will really be willing to serve signnificant amounts of management
information
to random controller nodes.
