--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Alfred Hoenes <[email-masked]>

Section: 12, pg.40

Original Text
-------------
[[ 2nd para of DESCRIPTION clause for pwIndexMappingEntry OBJECT-TYPE: ]]

           Implementers need to be aware that if the value of
|          the pwIndexMappingPeerAddr (an OID) has more than
|          113 sub-identifiers, then OIDs of column instances
           in this table will have more than 128 sub-identifiers
           and cannot be accessed using SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3."

Corrected Text
--------------
           Implementers need to be aware that if the value of
|          the pwIndexMappingPeerAddr corresponds to more than
|          113 sub-identifiers, then OIDs of column instances
           in this table will have more than 128 sub-identifiers
           and cannot be accessed using SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3."

Notes
-----
Rationale: Clarification of potentially misleading text:
pwIndexMappingPeerAddr is *not* an OID by itself, it is
transformed into an OID when used as an index in the SMI.
An alternate replacement text might be:

           Implementers need to be aware that if the value of
|          the pwIndexMappingPeerAddr has a size of more than
|          112 octets, then OIDs of column instances
           in this table will have more than 128 sub-identifiers
           and cannot be accessed using SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3."
