That's really the crux of the issue! IP is an "internetwork protocol",
and includes the notion of an "IP interface", which is inevitably
associated with a MAC SAP.
So SNMP etc. traffic should really be viewed as application traffic (ie.
which passes the CS SAP).
Indeed, many people's conception is that the management traffic
originates at an NMS external to the BS which is then bridged or
routed. If so, then the traffic certainly passes the CS SAP. For
external traffic to not pass the CS SAP, we would require a management
proxy entity.
