Introduction This memo describes Textual Conventions and OBJECT-IDENTITY objects used for managing ATM-based interfaces, devices, networks and services. When designing a MIB module, it is often useful to define new types similar to those defined in the SMI. In comparison to a type defined in the SMI, each of these new types has a different name, a similar syntax, but a more precise semantics. These newly defined types are termed textual conventions, and are used for the convenience of humans reading the MIB module. This is done through Textual Conventions as defined in RFC1443[1]. It is the purpose of this document to define the set of textual conventions available to ATM MIB modules. OBJECT-IDENTITY objects are also defined to be used by ATM Devices. This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet community. Expires Aug '96 [Page 2] draft ATM Textual Convention and OBJECT-IDENTITY Objects~~Feb 1996 3.
