I don't have this recommendations. Why is not there SNMP MIBs for SS7?
It's only MIB definitions in GDMO for SS7. Could it be tranlate to SNMP
SMIv2?

I'll take it a look.

That sounds pretty good.

We can use an SNMP subagent using the AgentX protocol. I think it's
the most easier solution and posible the most elegant. Or a traditional SNMP
agent.
To support the SNMP funcionality I think we can use NET-SNMP. I think
it's one of the most powerful platform for SNMP.

For CMIP over TCP/IP I do not know which tool to use. I use ISODE for CMIP a
years ago.
It's true that only GDMO MIBs are defined, but CMIP is very complex to
develop. Is it worth
to use it?

I wait till the SIGTRAN stack is complete and then we can talk about this.
By now,
I am going to take a look at SS7 and the OpenSS7 project.

OK. I will stay.
