hi chris and maria,

I have few comments on the MARS MIB draft submitted by you.

1. In ipAtmMarsTable  clusterSeqNum and ServerSeqNum are added whose value
   keeps changing with every message. These objects don't seem to be useful
   from management point of view.

2. In ipAtmMarsRegClientTable (p.27), ipAtmMarsregClientCsn doesn't seem to be
   useful from the management point of view.
   Similarly, ipAtmMarsRegMcsCsn (p.30) in ipAtmMarsRegMcsTable doesn't seem
   to be useful and I think it should be ipAtmMarsRegMcsSsn.

3. In ipAtmMarsStatTable (p.30) lot of descriptions don't match the object
   names. I guess this is due to cut and paste.

   In ipAtmMarsStatTable (p.32), ipAtmMarsStatRxSjoin and ipAtmMarsStatRxSleave
   objects are not relevant since Mars does not receive sjoin and sleave
   messages.

4. In ipAtmMarsMcsStatTable (p.45), ipAtmMarsMcsStatTxSjoin and
   ipAtmMarsMcsStatTxSleave objects are not relevant since MCS does not send
   sjoin and sleave messages. Correct me if I am wrong.

additions
---------

1. In MARS MIB, it would be useful to have a table for configuring backup
   MARS servers for this MARS. This table would contain :

   ipAtmMarsIndex, ipAtmMarsBackupAddr, ipAtmMarsBackupPriority,
   ipAtmMarsBackupRowStatus

2. A table for configuring multi-cast groups to be serverd by a MCS would
   be useful.  This would contain :

   ipAtmMarsMcsIndex, ipAtmMarsMcsGroupAddr, ipAtmMarsMcsGroupAddrRowStatus
