RE: Last Call: draft-ietf-pim-bsr-mib (PIM Bootstrap Router MIB) to Proposed Standard

1. The MIB compiles cleanly. 

2. idnits detected three documents in the references that were already
published as RFCs:

 == Outdated reference: draft-ietf-pim-mib-v2 has been published as RFC
5060

  == Outdated reference: draft-ietf-pim-sm-bsr has been published as RFC
5059

  == Outdated reference: draft-ietf-mboned-ip-mcast-mib has been
published as
     RFC 5132

3. The document should display Intended Status: Proposed Standard in the
header

4. Acronyms and terms like RP, Candidate-RP, Elected RP, BSR,
Candidate-BSR and Elected BSR  are not explained. The document needs a
short glossary or a pointer to the document that includes these. I could
not find straight definitions in RFC 4601, maybe they are some place
else. 

5.  As draft-ietf-pim-sm-bsr has been published as RFC 5059 REFERENCE
clauses should be updated accordingly. 

6. I am a little confused by the following logic: 

In the DESCRIPTION clause of pimBsrCandidateRPStatus: 

All writable objects in this entry can be modified
               when the status of this entry is active(1).

While in the DESCRIPTION clause of pimBsrCandidateRPStorageType

The storage type for this row. Rows having the value
               'permanent' need not allow write-access to any columnar
               objects in the row."

Is 'need not' equivalent with a 'should not'? And why is this dependent
of the storage type? 

7. Same questions about entries in pimBsrCandidateBSRTable

8. The DESCRIPTION clause of pimBsrElectedBSRRPSetPriority says: 

. Numerically higher values for
               this object indicate lower priorities, with the value
               zero denoting the highest priority

Is this true also for pimBsrCandidateRPPriority?

9. The objects defining hash mask lengths could use UNITS clause "bits"
