    Hi,

    Comments on PDM Interfaces group:

    All SNMP Agents must implement the required groups in MIB-II (per
    the core SNMP protocol specs for all three versions), including the
    Interfaces group (which includes all local and network data interfaces
    but NOT memory, video, etc., like the PDM group).

    The PDM Interfaces group should *augment*, rather than attempt
    to replace the MIB-II required group for local and network data
    interfaces (802.11, 802.3 (aka Ethernet), etc.).

    I'll send a more detailed suggestion after I think about it a bit more,
    but we do NOT want to compete with the exstensive IANA registry
    of local/network data interface types - waste of time and effort.

    FWIW - Host Resources MIB (RFC 2790) treats as distinct device
    types: Network, Video, Audio, Disk Storage, Parallel, and Serial
    (among others).

    Cheers,
    - Ira
