- Editor's note: These minutes have not been edited.
-
-
- The Trunk MIB Working Group met for 24 minutes, 8 of which were spent
- waiting for certain key players to arrive. It was one of the more efficient
- meetings on record.
-
- Status of outstanding work:
-
- The DS0, DS1, and DS3 MIBs have cleared last call, and are awaiting a
- ballot to be submitted. Advancement of DS0 to Proposed Standard is not
- deemed problematic, but at this time no responses to the call for
- implementations have been received indicating implementation of the Far End
- groups of DS1 or DS3. Advancement of DS1 and DS3 to Draft Standard is
- therefore stalled until the chair can either demonstrate two interoperable
- implementations of the far end groups or convince the editor to remove them
- from the MIB.
-
- Affected documents:
- draft-ietf-trunkmib-ds3-mib-04.txt
- draft-ietf-trunkmib-ds1-mib-05.txt
- draft-ietf-trunkmib-dds-mib-01.txt
-
- Simple translation: Nexen and AD&C Kentrox have not replied to the call for
- implementations. The chair would appreciate responses from them and any
- other implementors of the MIBs, especially those implementing the far end
- groups. This will permit him to forward the ballot to the NM AD.
-
- Status of work in progress.
-
- DDS MIB: the draft has expired, the author of the draft has moved to
- another company, and appears to be no longer interested in the work. James
- Watt will check with other DDS manufacturers to find if there exist other
- interested parties to continue it. Failing that, the MIB is dead.
-
- Supplemental DS1 MIB: At the Montreal IETF, James Watt suggested to the
- author of the Supplemental DS1 MIB that rather than publish it, the working
- group should use the DISMAN work. Since then, two implementations of the
- current draft have been done, whose implementors tell the MIB's author that
- the approach is viable, and a DS3 clone has been designed and mailed to the
- working group mailing list. The chair of DISMAN, who attended the Trunk MIB
- meeting, indicates that DISMAN has not advanced far enough for Trunk MIB to
- depend on it at this time. Hearing the recommendation of the chair of
- DISMAN, and in consultation with the Supplemental DS1 MIB's author, James
- dropped his objection. Therefore, the assembled working group members have
- instructed the author of Supplemental DS1 MIB to follow the original model
- at this time.
-
- Rumi S. Gonda has cloned the MIB for DS3; the chair will ask Rumi to post
- that as an Internet Draft, and contact Kaj Tesink asking him to similarly
- clone the MIB for SONET. These three MIBs will be advanced together to the
- IESG.
