Subject: Should DLSw MIB assume Some Form of SDLC and LLC2 MIBs Exist?

In the current 6611 DLSw MIB, there are a number of objects which
are related to LLC2 and SDLC objects, in ibmdlsCirTable and
ibmlsStattionTable, respectively.  If we want to develop a new
DLSw MIB based on the activities in DLSw RIG, should we assume
that some forms of SDLC and LLC2 MIBs exist in DLSw, so don't
need to repeat similar objects in DLSw MIB?

Don't know what LLC2 link station table(s) will be, but it seems
it needs to have MAC/SAP for both end stations.  (Without this
requirement, local MAC maybe derivable from ifPhysicalAddress
if ifTable.  Right?)

So, is this a reasonable assumption?  If that is the case, we need
to be sure that SDLC and LLC MIBs meet DLSw needs.
