I'd like to try and resolve some of the (unfortunate) differences we are
having regarding Charter, Scope, Requirements.
>From what I can decipher, there is a well established interest in solving
the problem "I've been getting at my (device) management data remotely,
within my enterprise just fine... but, now, how can I access it across the
firewall" (maybe to provide services to multiple enterprises etc.).
Others also want to solve... "... and what is the standard protocol and
data model that lends itself to the web services environment that may be
employed by proxy servers and/or directly in the embedded device".
Of course, we will have legacy SNMP devices to manage for quite some time
but I don't think the current existence of SNMP is the answer to the 2nd
question.
