Let's leave the code to one side for now.

Is that correct? Does this hold for the other pairs as well (LocalPair2, and the two RemotePairs) ? Or do they have different values? I've got some idea for how you might represent this in SNMP, but I want to be sure that I understand the underlying model first. The other issue I still have is with regard to manager-initiated activity. What you've described above is driven from the hardware itself - actively reporting significant events. It's often useful to be able to query the current status of the system (even if nothing has changed recently). Would LocalPair1 report the same two (or three) values? Similarly for LocalPair2, RemotePair1 & RemotePair2. I'm still unclear as to the significance of '0' in the above description. I know you said that such values could be discarded, but what does this value mean? Or is it not possible to query the hardware to discover the current state?
