[AGENT++] Size limit of an OctetString inside a MibTable ?

[Jacquemin, Jean-Philippe]

Hi, 

Thanks Frank. 
Should I then change it to an OCTET STRING of my max size (which will be
the UDP limit) ?

Thanks,
Jean-Philippe

Hi,

I only have to add, that the DisplayString textual convention limits the
length (size) to 255 characters.

Best regards,
