   I know that such a market exists for such a tool since many of you emailed

Subject: specification languages in OSI
Keywords: Estelle, LOTOS, OSI
Organization: Prentice Centre, University of Queensland
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 1992 06:48:32 GMT


Hello all,

I would like to know of other people's thoughts in using Estelle, LOTOS or Z
in the specification and implementation of OSI application layer services. 
The idea is to use these languages is not just in the specification of the 
services and protocols, but also in the implementation by the use of a
compiler to C or C++ (for example). The discussion should not be mainly 
concerned with the availability of a good compiler, but with the 
suitability of these languages in the implementation of the layer 7 services. 

Regarding the Estelle option, the software design should consider 
whether a mixed implementation should be used (i.e. there would  
be external data types and functions defined in another language), or would
Estelle be used completely as an implementation language. A mixed
implementation could use the strengths of Estelle to specify and implement
the components that it is especially good at, while using another language
for other operations. This appraoch may apply to other specification languages
as well (is this possible?).

Some specific questions which could be answered are:

	* Is a mixed implementation the best approach, or should the
	implementation be based entirely on the specification language.

	* If a mixed implementation is a good idea then what parts should the
	specification language be used for? How much of the software
	would this be approximately (e.g. 10%, 50%, 90%)?

	* How suitable are the languages for the implementation of
	OSI application layer services? For example, the implementation must 
	consider the protocol specification (a finite state machine)
	and the service specification. How useful are Estelle, etc., for
	these parts. Note that experiences in the lower layers may not
	necessarily apply directly to the application layer where there
	is perhaps a relatively smaller protocol specification, and a 
	greater service aspect.

	* Would anybody seriuosly consider implementing an application
	layer service using one of these specification languages?

	* Has anybody implemented an application
	layer service using one of these languages?

Please present other ideas if they are relevant. Also, refer to journal 
articles or other documents if they are useful in the discussion.


If there is plenty of interest then I will summarise the responses.

Date: 8 Apr 92 11:49:49 GMT
Organization: Comp Sci, La Trobe Uni, Australia
Originator: wongm@latcs5.lat.oz.au


I am a beginner in the area of ISO protocols development.
Currently I am undertaking a project which consisits of the 
following tasks :

1) specify one of the ISO Application Protocol in Estelle, and run
   it through Estelle to C compiler (ec). Ec is an Estelle compiler
   developed by BULL S.A and MARBEN and was developed in France.

2) simulate it with the edb tool to verify the correctness of the
   spec.

3) if no error in 2) then I will have to finish up the implementation
   part of the project, with the part of the codes generated by ec
   compiler.


My questions are :

1) Since I have to do the implementation on the system I am using
   (SunOS4), I will have to do some extra coding for system-dependent
   sections. 
   To actually have the final system installed on the system, I
   will need to have access to Estelle Implementation Kernel, local
   system libraries, with all the codes linked into a final system.
   However, the Estelle Implementation Kernel for Unix is available 
   for internal use at BULL, due to appropriate BULL-MARBEN agreement.
   SO, I would like some advice and pointers on the experience in this
   area, ie the final linking of all separate modules into the final
   system, and the working experience with EC Estelle Implementation
   Kernel as well as the whole EC system.

2) Secondly, I will try linking the codes generated by EC into the
   local system in the ISODE system. So, I wonder has anyone had
   experience in (semi) auto-implementation of ISO protocols where
   the generated codes are obtained by a different Estelle system,
   and then integrated into local sytem with ISODE service functions
   supports.

3) Has anyone out there used EC b4 ?

   Note that, I am only interested in the Application Protocols, so
   anyone who has experience in the development and implementation
   of this area, please drop me a line.

   Finally, I hope all the kind-hearted people can give me some help
   and hints for the whole global picture ! Please email me for the
   valuable advices, and thanks in advance !!

MIT snmp and CMU snmp agents but they fail to keep most of their MIB updated correctly
(sysUpTime.0 reports that the agent has been running for 175+ days when in reality its
 only been running a few minutes, etc etc etc...)

I would IDEALLY like to run ISODE's SNMP agent -- has anyone gotten it to run successfully
on SVR4?

Oops, my previous post to this group had no Subject: (sorry).

I am looking for source code for SNMP implementations and trying to

Public Domain packages: CMU SNMP, MIT SNMP, and ISODE SNMP.  I am
also aware of commercial products from SNMP Research, PSI, and Epilouge.
Are there other implementations to consider?  Also, I would be interested
in comments on the relative merits of the different implementations.
Which packages seem most widely used, what are their strengths/weaknesses,
etc.  Mostly, I am interested in developing embedded SNMP agents for
some commercial network products.

Also, what SNMP mailing lists exist?

Subject: Use of GetNext

I want to retrieve a table which grows dynamically. Thus, the table starts
empty (there are no entries). It is similar to the ipAdEntAddr table in that
it is indexed by a physical address (an ethernet address) rather than by a
small integer.

In retrieving this table, since there is no a priori way of knowing the name
of any variable in the table, it looks like I have no start and no end markers
for it other than the lexically preceding and following variables. This leads
to the following approach to retrieving this table.

1) Create the object-id for a a variable which must precede any which will have
   real addresses (e.g. use address 0-0-0-0-0-0). Save this object-id.
2) Do a get-next on this one to get the first real one. Compare enough of the
   returned object-id to the saved one to be sure that the got-next vble was
   a table member. If not, goto (4).
3) Use this variable for whatever, then go back to (2) to get the next table
   member.
4) Go make a cup of coffee.


I wanted to enquire whether this was the standard way to do this or if there is
a better way.

Thanks - tim.

Hi -

Can anyone tell me if I can have multiple managers managing a single
SNMP agent?  I'm working on a project for Hill Air Force Base where I want to 
be able to issue a GET from one manager and have the response received by

It seems reasonable that multiple managers would be able to do SETs on a 
single agent, but how would the response to a GET get back to both managers?

Well, I don't think DEC has ported it to Sparc _yet_ although I bet that
you see it before too long -- DECmcc V1.2 provides a lot of what you're
looking for and certainly runs on the DECstation series.  The official
announcement was just made on Monday the 13th.  You might contact your
DEC rep for more info.

The Trakker looks pretty interesting.  We've been shopping around for
something similar, and will try to get one in for evaluation.  In its
favor, it can follow multi-packet transactions, so it can tell that an NFS
request, or an ARP, has gone out with no response being returned.  The
hardware seems powerful enough to follow a heavily loaded net, and the user
interface is slick (though potentially slow).  It also does the standard
things: duplicate IP address detection, alarms on traffic levels or
particular packet types (redirects, quench etc), traffic breakdown by
address, protocol, etc.

As negative points, it's expensive, and it doesn't understand any protocols
except TCP/IP and DECNET.  Concord plans to add Netware support "soon" and
Vines support eventually (and some others that I can't remember), but
that's it for now.

> In general, it is suppose to be a supplement to SNMP.

This is kinda misleading - it's built on top of SNMP, as are all good
network-monitoring packages these days.
