IEWB Lab1 Task 11.1-5

The task seems to be simple, as well as the solution.
My question is on the commons sense and real life use of it.

ifEntry.11 is type Counter32, that means that it always increases until
reaches 2**32.

---cut---
# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public rtr ifEntry.11.1
IF-MIB::ifInUcastPkts.1 = Counter32: 737076
---cut---

The task is to send trap if value increases to 15000 and falls to 5000.
It will happen only two time in Counter32 life cycle and these traps would
not make any sense.
Basically with Counter type falling happens only once from 2**32 to 0.

The task would make better sense like this "send trap if the unicast packets
counter changes 200 per sample interval".

Any thoughts on this?
