- Description of Working Group:
-
- Editor: David Arneson (arneson@ctron.com)
-
- The next generation of the Internet Protocol (IPv6) is intended to
- support Internet traffic for many years into the future by providing
- enhancements over the capabilities of the existing IPv4 service. The
- IPv6 MIB Working Group is producing specifications for the core
- functionality of that service, per recommendations of the IPng Area
- Directors as outlined at the July 1994 IETF and in ``The Recommendation
- for the IP Next Generation Protocol,'' RFC 1752, January 1995.
-
- The IPv6 MIB Working Group's charter falls into three broad
- categories:
-
- - identify changes, if any, to existing standards track
- SNMPv2 document
-
- - potential changes to existing MIBs
-
- - new and additional MIBs that are specific to the IP Next
- Generation Protocol
-
- The IPv6 MIB Working Group is initially chartered to identify specific
- areas of work and their corresponding work items, within each of the
- abovementioned categories.
-
- To which end, if changes or additions to the standards track SNMPv2
- documents are identified, such changes will be communicated to and
- discused with the SNMPv2 Working Group. If, at a certain time, the
- SNMPv2 Working Group is inactive, this information will be communicated
- to the Network Management Area Director.
-
- Specification of a SNMPv2 Textual Convention for IPv6 addresses and the
- corresponding Transport Mappings to specify the Transport- Level
- address fall into this category. (As a result of an action item from
- the IPv6MIB BOF held in December 1994, these have already been
- communicated to the SNMPv2 Working Group.)
-
- As part of the second category, this working group will identify
- existing MIBs that will be impacted, some of which would need
- modifications to, at a minimum, include and reflect IPv6 addresses.
- Examples of these MIBs are:
-
- - MIB-II
-
- - Evolution of the Interfaces Group of MIB-II
-
- - IP Forwarding Table MIB
-
- - RIP Version 2 MIB Extensions
-
- - OSPF Version 2 MIB
-
- - IPCP MIB
-
- As part of its charter in this category, this working group will
- liaison and communicate with relevant working groups where these
- identified MIBs were developed. If, at a certain time, these said
- working groups are inactive, the appropriate Area Director will be
- apprised.
-
- Per the third category, this working group will identify a complete set
- of new and additional MIB modules, and their respective organization,
- in the following areas:
-
- - IPv6 and associated ICMPv6 protocols
-
- - IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
-
- - IPv6 Tunneling and Mobility
-
- - IPv6 Forwarding and Flows
-
- - IPv6 Network Address Configuration and Resolution
-
- - IPv6 Header Compression
-
- - Network Layer Security Aspects
-
- In order to maintain compliance, this working group will liaison with
- other working groups within the Internet Area, such as the IPng and
- NGTRANS Working Groups.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Apr 95 First meeting. Discuss charter, initial proposals and
- discussions of work items in each major category.
-
- Jun 95 Sunmit an Internet-Draft which lists a set of existing MIBs
- that require modifications in order to provide support for
- IPv6.
- Convey above information to each affected working group chair
- and/or Area Director.
-
- Jun 95 Submit to the SNMPv2 Working Group, if applicable, the complete
- list of changes to existing standards track SNMPv2 documents.
-
- Jun 95 Submit an Internet-Draft of a Framework and Overview document,
- specifying a list of new MIB modules and corresponding
- organization.
-
- Sep 95 Subit final version of Framework and Overview document as an
- Informational RFC.
-
- Oct 95 Submit revised charter and request to extend the life of the
- working group.
-
-
- Internet-Drafts:
-
- No Current Internet-Drafts.
-
- Request For Comments:
