CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Kaj Tesink/Bellcore
Minutes of the ATM MIB Working Group (ATOMMIB)
SONET MIB
The current Internet-Draft, ietf-draft-atommib-sonet-01.txt, is
considered complete. The meeting participants decided unanimously to
recommend this Internet-Draft to the area director for further
processing by the Network Management Area Directorate (NMDIR) and the
IESG as a Proposed Standard.
ATM MIB
o Use of ifTable for the ATM Level
The mapping in the current Internet-Draft was agreed upon with a
minor amendment to the mapping of ifOutErrors.
o Use of ifTable for AAL5
A new approach was adopted. The detailed text will be worked out
on the mailing list. The approach treats AAL5 entities in switches
as connected with the switch through a virtual interface; in hosts
the AAL5 level is directly stacked on the ATM level. The approach
also requires a small AAL5-specific table in the ATM MIB for AAL5
error counters. Explanatory text on this subject will also be
included in the specification.
o Modeling of ATM Connections
The small group tasked at the Amsterdam meeting has identified two
approaches. Ted Brunner identified the approaches:
1. Proposal Bob - Similar to what is contained in the current ATM
MIB and Frame Relay MIB Internet-Drafts.
2. Proposal Dave - Takes a common approach for hosts, switches,
and services.
The meeting participants decided to proceed with an approach,
dubbed ``Henrietta'', that combines the strong points of Dave and
Bob. The current MIB will be amended as appropriate. Detailed
text as to how to do orderly connection setup will also be
included.
o Any Other ATM MIB Issues
The proposal, to combine the separate VPL and VCL tables into a
single table, and the VCC and VPC tables into a single table, was
reviewed. This proposal was not adopted.
o Status of the ATM MIB
Beyond the details mentioned earlier, no other open issues where
identified. It was decided unanimously to recommend this
Internet-Draft to the area director for further processing by NMDIR
and the IESG as a Proposed Standard after these details have been
fixed on the mailing list. The target is to wrap up before the end
of the year (in accordance with the charter).
o ATM Management Beyond the ATM MIB
Some interest had been expressed to pursue management of switched
virtual circuits (SVC). However, it was decided not to pursue this
at this time. Consequently, the working group can be inactivated
after the ATM MIB and SONET MIB have been progressed as Proposed
Standards. The mailing list will remain active for the exchange of
implementation experience or any other ATM/SONET management
discussion.
Generic Connection Table
Ken Rodeman gave a presentation on a generic approach to the management
of virtual connections, suggesting a common approach for frame relay and
ATM. The generic approach would serve as an umbrella over connection
tables that are specific to frame relay or ATM. The contents of the
specific tables would not be affected by adoption of the generic
approach. Rather, the specific approach would simplify the overall
management of connections. Discussion of this topic was deferred to the
Interfaces MIB Working Group.
