[libsmi] Clarification

Hi,

I need a clarification on the following.

1. When I went throught parser, I found all the INTEGER based types

Counter, Gauge, TimeTicks are assigned a value of

SMI_BASETYPE_UNSIGNED32.

Is there any specific reason for not defining a new type for the

Integer

based APPLICATION types?

2. Having different types may help the developers while sending the traps.

I feel it is inappropriate to send the Trap containing Gauge object

with

ASN_INTEGER(0x02) tag value.

3. Another thing, does the SNMP Manager will be really bothered about the

mismatch of the object type defined in a MIB from whatever he get it

from

SNMP TRAP?

Can somebody help me out regarding this?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mahesh.
