How are you planning on presenting the data to other agents (e.g. Nagios, Openview, MRTG, etc.)? One comment that I should have made on your RFC is that I wonder if it is necessary to include the data analysis/reduction part. Just having a central location that collects the values and presents it via SNMP is extremely useful since there are a plethora of monitoring apps (free and commercial) that do what you are proposing. That way, a network manager can leverage existing tools currently used for monitoring Ethernet Nodes, Hosts, etc. You can still include a last change attribute with each counter so that simple utilities (like the one that I am writing) can get an idea of how quickly errors are occurring.
