Order page -- Wes
- Transport changes likely coming soon
- Resulting from TLS work mainly
- Changes involved:
- auto-transport detection and inclusion
- similar to mib modules now
- signficinantly more re-use
- Configuration passing
- possible split of transport object creation to actual
opening
- more config changes described to transports passing "up" an
identifier to load for read_config
- ie, snmpget -G noc ... localhost ... would load
localhost.conf followed by noc.conf in the [snmp]
contexts
- magfr's frustration with OID registrations and his
hopefully-this-time solution proposal
- TrogL's multi-core CPU monitoring
- Testing infrastructure and supported releases
- Wes' proposal from a few meetings ago
- hopefully a proposal in march
- unit and API tests
- Magfr: need a robust C-code based test system
- Dropping MSVC 6.0 -- bartvanassche
- Future Directions
- Other Issues
- Round Table
- Wes: transports, TLS, ISMS, hopefully a testing harness
