Revision -07 of draft-ietf-ospf-mib-update has
been posted. It includes the following changes
from revision -06.

- added object ospfDiscontinuityTime in order for a management entity
  to detect counter discontinuity events
- updated REVISION DESCRIPTION clauses with description of major MIB
  modifications
- updated MIB contact info
- moved all relevant MIB comments to objects' DESCRIPTION clauses
- added reason for object deprecation in DESCRIPTION clause
- added persistence information for read-write, read-create objects
- described conditions when columns can be modified in RowStatus
  managed rows as required by RFC 2579
- defined 'OspfAuthType' TC and modified authentication type objects
  to use the new type
- Removed InterfaceIndex TC because it conflicts with TC in IF-MIB
- made index objects of new tables not-accessible ( index objects
  of old tables remain read-only )
- added the UNITS clause to several objects
- added ospfIfDesignatedRouterId and ospfIfBackupDesignatedRouterId
  to the OspfIfEntry
- added the area LSA counter table - ospfAreaLsaCountTable
- Removed ospfTrafficEngineeringSupport general group object. WG
  consensus was that a separate OSPF TE MIB should be defined.
- restored MAX-ACCESS value of ospfHostAreaID to read-only (RFC 1850).
  MIB rules do not allow MAX-ACCESS to be changed on an object.
- added new Host Table object ospfHostCfgAreaID to allow configuration
  of AreaID.
- added Intellectual Property Rights section
- added latest MIB boilerplate sections
- updated WG e-mail list
- indicate in abstract that the MIB is specific to IPv4
- changed references from "hitless" restart to "graceful" restart
- added section 1.5 describing reference for implementing
  MIB views on multiple OSPF instances
- new page number format in footer
