hi all!

so the thing is that, back in the antic time, far before we even had the 
first real configurable exporting framework (sensors and checks)
i had a bad decision when i had to outsource this exporting activity... back 
in that time, my idea was to re-use the preexisting internal
tlc interpreter to solve the issue... you still can find traces of this in 
https://github.com/rare-freertr/freeRtr/tree/master/misc/snmp
it still believed to be usable and it satisfies all the requirements to be 
auto-discovered in an nms system....
on the other hand, since we got the performance-measurements for sr-te 
flexalgo128.255 properly which shortly evolved the two named framework...
now i have an idea if someone is willing to deal with the integration from 
the nms side, im open to renew this very ancient part of freerouter
together to use the sensors framework somehow.... by that, in theory, you 
you'll have all the shows in snmp even in some-seconds polling interval...
if you haven't seen that already, both carmen and frederic are doing so, as 
far as i know...
bhat? deal? :)
br,
cs
