Hi Paul,

Thanks for your review, as always.
A couple of points addressed in line. I started by acknowledging every editorial changes, then I stop: we will simply trust your English expertise.

I'm surprised to find open issues in WGLC.

This format is different from the Abstract, where the title isn't given (ie, there's no duplication), eg "section 7 of [RFC3410]".

Either "a MIB module which is", or "MIB modules which are".

This section comes from the boilerplate http://www.ops.ietf.org/mib-boilerplate.html
Even if not perfect, I propose to leave it unchanged.

What about sections 4 and 5?

Done above.

Too confusing. I think you mean:

  [RFC5101] also specifies the data types used in this MIB module...

I think we refer to the textual convention here. So "this document" is  draft-ietf-ipfix-psamp-mib-02
I agree this is slightly confusing.

I read this several times as "one or more objects...", which doesn't make sense.

I suggest:

 "the OID refers to an object that contains only one additional object indicating ..."

BTW I keep wanting to change "that" to "which".

Remove "also", because it sounds like a duplicate definition (ie, defined here and also in RFC 5815).

Is this the right place to define these for more general use?

From the IPFIX meeting minutes

Juergen Quittek presented the PSAMP MID draft.  This only needed
textual conventions for 64-bit unsigned integers and real.  The MIB
Doctors have provided one for Unsigned64, but we will need to create a
new one for IEEE 64-bit floating objects.  Dan Romascanu pointed out
that our Float64 TC should be general, so that other MIBs can use it.

Why do you use these strange contracted names, which will surely be confusing to people whose first language isn't English?

Why is this (3) rather than (2) ?

Because of 3 below.

                   PsampSampRandOutOfNParamSetEntry

       ::= { psampSampRandOutOfN 3 }

 

However, there is no entry for "::= { psampSampRandOutOfN 2 }", so you have a good point.

Being buried in the MIB, it's possible, even likely, that this will be overlooked.

All tables in this MIB module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable
in some network environments because objects in the tables may reveal information
about the network infrastructure and device configuration. It is thus important to
control even GET and/or NOTIFY access to these objects and possibly
to even encrypt the values of these objects when sending them over
the network via SNMP.

Yes we should be consistent.

Clearly specify that xxx must be assigned by IANA and also written into the MIB in section 7.

yes.

Thanks for the detailed review
