    Hi Pete, Thursday (9 December 2004)

    Here are those definitions:

    Device: An abstract object that represents a hardware component of a
    network host system that supports one imaging function (e.g., copy) and
    may be associated with one or more upstream Service objects. A Device
    object exposes for monitoring and management every associated Subunit
    (e.g., Marker) on that network host system.

        Note: This document defines the Device object as an extension and
        generalization of the Printer object defined in the Printer MIB
        (RFC 1759/3805).

    Service: An abstract object that represents a software component of a
    network host system that supports one or more imaging functions (e.g.,
    copy, print, and scan) and may be associated with one or more downstream
    Device objects. A Service object exposes for monitoring and management
    every associated Subunit (e.g., Channel) on that network host system.

        Note: This document defines the Service object as an extension and
        generalization of the Printer object defined in the Internet
        Printing Protocol (IPP) Model and Semantics (RFC 2566/2911).

    System: An abstract object that represents a network host system and
    may support one or more configured Services or Devices on that network
    host system. A System object exposes for monitoring and management
    every configured Subunit (e.g., Console) on that network host system.

        Note: This document defines the System object as an extension and
        generalization of the System group in IETF MIB-II (RFC 1213) and the
        System group in IETF Host Resources MIB (RFC 1514/2790).

    Cheers,
    - Ira

    Ira,

    Do you have definitions for device, system & service for section 2.2 of
    the counter spec? I have it down as an action item for you from the
    last review of the spec. Also note my new email address.
