	Title		: SNMP managed objects for Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM)

Middlebox communication (midcom) was conceived to move
application level gateway (ALG) intelligence out of 
middleboxes into application specific midcom agents. Midcom
agents will be assumed to use midcom to control middlebox
resources so as to permit applications to traverse a
middlebox. The scope of the middleboxes is limited to NAT and
firewall devices. This document defines SNMP managed midcom
objects to control middlebox resources and justifies adapting
SNMPv3 as the midcom protocol.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
