HI all,

This is regarding the 'diffServClassifierTable' of the
DIFF-SERV-MIB.

1)
The 'diffServClassifierPrecedence' assigns precedences
in the 'diffServClassifierTable'. Looking in the table
I see also a 'diffServClassifierNext' column. I believe
the naming is confusing. This object does not specify
the next classifier, but the datapath element.
Should the name not reflect this??

2)
Can 'diffServClassifierNext' object also not point to
an next entry in the 'diffServClassifierTable'?? 
If yes, is it then possible to create invalid combinations
of 'diffServClassifierPrecedence' and 'diffServClassifierNext'.
For instance, 
    Entry 1: precedence = 10,   next = "entry 2"
    Entry 2: precedence = 11,   next = 0.0

"Entry 2" will be first tested as classifier followed by
"entry 1". Hist next points to "entry 2" so do we jump
back to "entry 2"??

Thanks by advance for a clarification,
Harrie
