Hello All,

A proposed draft of the sFlow MIB has been posted
<http://www.sflow.org/drafts/draft3/SFLOW-MIB.txt >. The primary changes are
as follows:

1. Allow for multiple samplers per interface.
2. Place the MIB under the new sflow.org branch.
3. Split sFlowTable into three separate tables: sFlowRcvrTable (controlling
sFlow data stream to an sFlow collector), sFlowFsTable (controlling
flow/packet sampling) and sFlowCpTable (controlling counter polling).

Normalising the MIB tables (3. above) separates the different functional
components of the sFlow agent, resulting in simpler translation between the
MIB attributes and agent behavior. Normalising also makes the MIB easier to
extend in the future.

Comments/suggestions?

Regards,
Peter
