Re: [Fwd: [Forces-protocol] Presentation of the options forLFB-level multicast]



Yes, I am happy to repeat the path and data TLVs inside an OP TLV.
I just want all of the path information in the path TLV and the data in the data TLV.


My reference to SNMP is because one of the ugly things for SNMP is that if you want to fetch an entire table you have to fetch each individual element with a full OID for each one. (And their OIDs are much longer than our path identifiers, for various historical reasons.)

Yours,
Joel

[Weiming]Do you mean multiple path-data TLVs in one OpTLV? If is, I agree well.
It helps well for multiple Attributes, but helps little to save Attribute IDs.


Note that because we allow references to full tables and structures which
make full SNMP OID references so expensive are less of an issue in our work.
[Weiming] Sorry, I can not catch it well. Could you explain a little more?
thanks.

As a minor point, note that getting / setting multiple elements can be done
by sending multiple target selection TLVs.
[Weiming] This is even more expensive, which means we are repeating LFB class
and LFB instance ID as well as Attribute ID.

Thank you.
