Keith,

> An SNMP ifIndex will not fit inside 3 bytes.

Taking this point of view, an SNMP ifIndex wouldn't fit in anything
less than 4 bytes. Yet, in OSPF with unnumbered links ifIndex is
carried in the same field as a plain IP address So, when this field
carries the value 33620225, is that an IP address (2.1.1.1) or an
ifIndex (33620225) ?
