I am less sure about the answer to this question. My naive understanding was that as long as an endpoint exists, the value of udpEndpointInstance should remain the same. I am less sure about the reuse of udpEndpointInstance for the same four tuple. On the manager side, I kind of would prefer if udpEndpointInstance values for the same four tuple are not reused too frequently. I agree that this should be clarified. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.
