Open Issue #11 How to represent the Observation Point?
Should we have an Observation Point ID I.E.?
PROS: Very flexible
CONS: We should specify the management of it!
CONS: We should export the relationship with know I.E.. Example: this observation point X is composed of ingressInterface Y
Or can reuse any I.E.: interface, line card, router?
PROS: Very easy
PROS: Could even define new ones, depending on specific architecture
NOTE: the observation point I.E. MUST always be the first one in the Association ID report interpretation, and must be interpreted that way by the collector!
PROPOSAL:
“Reuse any I.E.” method
