- Status of this Memo
-
-
- This document is an Internet Draft. Internet Drafts are
- working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force
- (IETF), its Areas, and its Working Groups. Note that other
- groups may also distribute working documents as Internet
- Drafts.
-
- Internet Drafts are valid for a maximum of six months and may
- be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
- time. It is inappropriate to use Internet Drafts as reference
- material or to cite them other than as a "work in progress".
-
- Please check the id-abstracts.txt listing contained in the
- internet-drafts Shadow Directories on the nic.ddn.mil,
- nnsc.nsf.net, nic.nordu.net, ftp.nisc.sri.com, or
- munnari.oz.au to learn the current status of any Internet
- Draft.
-
- This is a working document only, it should neither be cited
- nor quoted in a formal document.

- 1. Introduction
-
- This memo outlines current implementation experience of the
- DECnet Phase IV MIB Extensions which are defined in RFC1289.
- It has been prepared as part of the evaluation process for the
- movement of the document from Proposed to Draft Standard
- Status. This memo does not specify a standard for the
- Internet community.

- 2. Implementation Experience
-
- A total of four vendors responded positively to the
- Implementation Survey described in section 3. In almost every
- instance, the vendors chose to implement the same groups.
- Based on this experience, it is a simple matter to recommend
- which groups should remain mandatory and those that should be
- moved to optional status.
-
- In RFC1289, the following groups are defined:
-
-
- o System Group
-
- o Network Management Group
-
- o Session Group
-
- o End Group
-
- o Routing Group
-
- o Circuit Group
-
- o DDCMP Group
-
- o DDCMP Multipoint Control Group
-
- o Ethernet Group
-
- o Counters Group
-
- o Adjacency Group
-
- o Line Group
-
- o Non Broadcast Line Group
-
- o Area Group
-
- Based on the survey, the following groups have been
- implemented by either a single vendor multiple times, or by
- multiple vendors multiple times (see the Implementation Table
- in Section 4):

-
-
- o phivSystem
-
- o phivManagement (a single vendor implementation on several
- platforms)
-
- o routing
-
- o circuit
-
- o ethernet
-
- o adjacency
-
- o line
-
- o area
-
- The groups that will be moved from mandatory to optional in
- the RFC will be:
-
- o session
-
- o end
-
- o ddcmp
-
- o control
-
- o counters (this was implemented by a single vendor once)
-
- o nonBroadcastLine
-
- 2.1. Implementation Survey
-
- The survey below was sent to the entire phiv-mib distribution
- list on Tuesday May 18, 1993.

- Company Name: __________________________
-
- Below is a list of the groups taken directly from the RFC.
- Please take a moment to put in either an x or product name(s)
- beside each so that we will be able to tell how many products
- implement each group.

- 2.2. Implementation Table
-
- The following table shows the total number of implementations
- for each group in the MIB. I also shows the total number of
- vendors which have implemented the group. As a result it is
- possible to have a group which shows several implementations
- even though it has only been implemented by a single vendor.

- That Have Implemented (Many Vendors Implemented
- The MIB Group On Several Products)
