 This [[http://domen.uninett.no/~faltin/nav/navdb/netbox_related.png|diagram]] shows OID database (and more).
+The role of the OID database has changed with NAV 3.6. ipdevpoll (that replaces getDeviceData) does not depend
+on the OID database. Cricket still does and getBoksMacs still uses the oid database to figure out device
+capabilities.

-The traffic map (vlanplot) uses three tables to store values on positioning of
-routers in the graph and on the use of containers.

-The table is used for positioning nodes (routers) on the traffic map.
