Draft History (3)
DOCS-IETF-QOS-MIB version 9
All DisplayString objects changed to SnmpAdminString Syntax.
This change is a preventive measure in case DOCSIS ever changes the Cable Modem Configuration File to support UTF-8 characters, which currently is ASCII only for Service Class Names.
Impact: Since SnmpAdminString values are encoded the same for ASCII characters as DisplayString values, this has minimal impact on agents that support the DOCSIS QOS MIB using DisplayString.
Potential Impact: If DOCSIS was ever changed to use UTF-8 for Service Class Names and the MIB still displayed Service Class Names as DisplayStrings, then a new version of the DOCSIS-IEFT-QOS-MIB would be required that deprecated an number of service class name objects, as well as deprecated the docsQosServiceClassTable because the docsQosServiceClassName(DisplayString) is the index to this table. docsQosServiceClassName is the only Read-Create Service Class Name, and its description contains the current DOCSIS rules for this object as well as a reference to the DOCSIS Specification where the rules are stated.
