Hi, Maintenance of the Bridge Mib modules has been taken over by the IEEE 802.1 WG. As a result, this proposal is out of scope for the Bridge MIB WG mailing list. The appropriate mailing list for IEEE 802.1 MIB module discussion is STDS-802-1-L@listserv.ieee.org. To subscribe to the STDS-802-1-L list, go to http://www.ieee802.org/1/email-pages/ To see the general information about 802,1, including how they work and how to participate, go to http://www.ieee802.org/1/ To see presentations on the technology, go to http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/ and look in the docs2004, docs2005, and docs2006 directories.
