Keep it in perspective, when you bring a full grown Bengal Tiger out on stage it is pretty clear that it is going to knock off a paper tiger. Now the question is will SNMP knock out CMIP itself in the area of NMS/agent management within the OSI stack. Despite the denials of Mr. Crocker who represents both DEC and the ISEG/IETF collegium, thank goodness we at least have the safety net of meer rationality, market forces, user demand, and other standards groups to work within to give us the possability of useful mechanisms to manage OSI networks in parallel with tcp/ip networks for the 20-30 years.
