MIBs Passed From the IETF To IEEE 802.3 and Currently Documented In IEEE 802.3.1-2013
draft-taylor-opsawg-mibs-to-ieee80231-00

Abstract

This document records the transfer of ownership of a number of MIBs relating to ethernet, from the IETF to IEEE 802.3. Like RFC 4663, it describes the procedures associated with the transfer. Unlike RFC 4663, this documentation is retrospective in nature, since the transfer happened several years ago. Deviations from the planned procedures described in RFC 4663 are noted for historical interest [in a later version of this draft - PTT].

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

[RFC4663], published in September, 2006, described a plan for transferring four MIBs related to bridges from IETF to IEEE 802.1 ownership. Some years later, another transfer of ownership took place, this time related to ethernet and directed to IEEE 802.3. [RFC4663] clearly enunciates the motivation for the transfers and also provides an introduction to IEEE standardization procedures. The discussions of those topics will not be repeated here.

The IEEE version of this second lot of transferred MIBs was published as 802.3.1-2011 in February, 2011. The IEEE 802.3.1 specification was subsequently updated. The latest version, IEEE 802.3.1-2013 [IEEE802.3.1-2013], is the basis for this document.

1.1. Requirements Language
