Hi, 

I think that the situation with the Ethernet MIB modules is somehow
different from the one with the Bridge modules on this respect. The
Ethernet MIB modules laready covered some of the SP space when Ethernet
started to propagate in the Metro and WAN applications. There is no
clear separation and what IEEE 802.3 continues the work in the IETF.
Actually the first set of MIB modules issued by IEEE 802.3.1 changes
little in the MIB modules structure beyond moving their root under IEEE
control and extending the range of supported PHYs and MAUs. 

I may not know all that is happening and I am ready to stand corrected
if I am missing information. As I am at the IEEE 802 meeting this week I
will try to learn more on the IEEE 802.3 side. 

Regards,

Dan
