+Important notes.
+===============
+1. This implementation is actually a system independent
+ template. It means that the question "Where and how
+ may I collect the monitored statistics ?" is taken out
+ from the scope. Actually, it is emulated with random values.
+ You are free to rewrite the function 'get_history_data'
+ for your system. Don't forget also to insert DataSourse
+ checking in 'history_Validate' function. (Both functions
+ are in the file history.c).
+
+2. This implementation has two RMON mib understanding extensions
+ (I hope it does not break anything; nevertheless you may use
+ it in completely standard way).
+
+ 2.1. I permit to set VALID entryStatus when entry doesn't exit;
+ in this case PDU has to have the necessary & valid set
+ of non-default values
+
+ 2.2. I permit to travel from VALID to 'UNDER_CREATION' state:
+ these ways a manager can change control entry and validate
+ it once more.
+
+
+THANKS

+ Mr. Michael J. Slifcak of Internet Security Systems, Inc has provided
+ a number of remarks, I implemented ALL of them.
