[VOIPSEC] SNMP support for EventCorrelation/NetworkManagementSystems

[Mark Teicher]

The end point may incorporate it, then the .mib file will have either adhere to ASN.1 standards or not.  After that, the various NMS/Event Management systems have to incorporate it into their basic package or have a 3rd party SNMP compiler that allows for errors that vendors may insert into their .mib.  I ran into this problem a few weeks ago with a vendor adhering to the SNMP standard but the .mib still had errors during compilation for a common NMS system. 

The last I pinged either, there has been finger pointing in the various directions and the VOIP vendor has stated, "hey we don't have time to fix it, we are to busy working on our next release "

They are then going to have it for IPsec?

Odds are they do.  I will talk to the Spectrographics and Symbol gang that 
attend the 802.11 meetings.
