Re: ipSecIfCapsTable not many attributes

[avri@xxxxxxx]

Hi,

First let me say how glad I am to hear about another implementation of 
the PIB.

My first issue is that since the ID has been through WG last call and 
is currently in IESG review and MIB doctor review, I would not like to 
pull it back to add a major new capability for anything less then a 
show stopper at this point.

Further on the specific issue:

While capabilities are important, the Framework PIB has comprehensive 
capability mechanism, that should cover the requirements.

thanks

a.
