- Description of Working Group:
- This Working Group is chartered to consider technical contributions to
- the SNMP evolution process and to produce a single recommendation as
- to which contributions (or combinations or modifications thereof)
- should define the next generation SNMP network management framework.
-
- The announced deadline for technical contributions to the SNMP
- evolution process is September 10, 1992. Any individual interested in
- contributing to this process should prepare and submit his/her
- contribution according to the requirements for detail, completeness,
- copyright, and format set forth in the original announcement. This
- Working Group is under no obligation to consider contributions that do
- not meet these basic requirements or contributions that are not
- submitted by the contribution deadline.
-
- This Working Group has the option of (a) rejecting any or all
- contributions as the basis for positive evolution, (b) accepting any
- or all contributions as candidates for standardization, or (c)
- modifying or combining any or all contributions to produce consensus
- proposals for standardization.
-
- The product of the Working Group will be a single recommendation to
- the IESG identifying those submitted specifications (or modifications
- thereof), if any, whose standardization as part of the SNMP framework
- is agreed to be warranted and desirable. The Working Group will not
- be chartered to produce tutorial, explanatory, advisory, or
- informational documents of any kind.
-
- In its deliberations, the Working Group will take special cognizance
- of architectural principles on which the historic success of SNMP has
- rested:
-
- (1) The SNMP framework minimizes the overall cost of a manageable
- network by minimizing the cost and complexity of those management
- system components that are most numerous.
-
- (2) The SNMP framework fosters ubiquity of deployment by admitting the
- widest possible range of implementation strategies.
-
- (3) The SNMP framework fosters operational robustness by realizing
- management system function as closely as possible to centers of
- responsible authority.
-
- (4) The SNMP framework fosters operational robustness by locating
- control of resources consumed by the management activity (e.g.,
- bandwidth, processing) as closely as possible to centers of
- responsible authority.
-
- Moreover, the deliberations of the Working Group will take special
- cognizance of at least two aspects of evolutionary logistics:
-
- (1) A single transition from existing SNMP technology to the next
- stage of SNMP evolution is highly desirable; multi-stage or protracted
- transitions are less desirable.
-
- (2) Minimizing the number of distinct management technologies
- concurrently deployed in the Internet is highly desirable.
-
- Consistent with the community desire for timely, deliberate progress,
- the Working Group may be disbanded at the time of the IETF plenary
- meeting in the Spring of 1993 regardless of whether or not it has
- produced the single recommendation required by its Charter.
-
- This Working Group is not chartered to consider security aspects of
- the SNMP framework, as these are addressed as a matter of course by an
- existing IETF working group.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Post as an Internet-Draft the technical proposals to the SNMP
- Evolution Working Group.
-
- Done Closing date for technical proposals.
-
- Done First Working Group meeting.
-
- Done Working Group meeting in Washington DC IETF Plenary.
-
- Mar 93 Working Group meeting at the IETF Plenary.
-
- Mar 93 Submit a proposal to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed
- Standard.
-
-
- Internet Drafts:
-
- No Current Internet drafts.
