The IESG has approved the following Internet-Drafts as Proposed Standards: o Base Definitions of Managed Objects for TN3270E Using SMIv2 <draft-ietf-tn3270e-tn3270-mib-10.txt> o Definitions of Protocol and Managed Objects for TN3270E Response Time Collection Using SMIv2 (TN3270E-RT-MIB) <draft-ietf-tn3270e-rt-mib-07.txt> These documents are the product of the Telnet TN3270 Enhancements Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Keith Moore and Patrik Faltstrom. Technical Summary "Base Definitions of Managed Objects for TN3270E Using SMIv2" defines a MIB for configuring and managing TN3270E servers. TN3270E is defined in RFC 2355 and consists of extensions to the Telnet protocol for enhanced 3270 terminal emulation. "Definitions of Protocol and Managed Objects for TN3270E Response Time Collection Using SMIv2" defines a protocol and a MIB for performing response time data collection on TN3270 and TN3270E sessions by a TN3270E server. Working Group Summary Several design issues had to be sorted out, including how to index sessions, how to account for multiple TN3270 Servers at the same managed SNMP box, how to do moving-average calculations, and how to calculate the response-time in the absence of information from both end-points. But there was not significant dissent on the decisions once reached. Protocol Quality The specification was reviewed for IESG by John Flick and Helena Lingham.
