Technical Summary

   The Softwire mesh framework is a tunneling mechanism that enables
   the connectivity between islands of IPv4 networks across a single
   IPv6 backbone and vice versa.  In softwire mesh, extended
   multiprotocol-BGP (MP-BGP)is used to set up tunnels and advertise
   prefixes among address family border routers (AFBRs).  The softwire
   mesh MIB provides a method to configure and manage the softwire
   mesh objects through SNMP.

  The working group had active discussion on the draft and the current
  text of the draft is representative of the consensus of the working

IESG Note

The MIB contained in the document produces two warnings with smilint
as described in Question 19 (and shown below). The MIB doctor review of this document in
version -03 did not contain any remarks about these warnings and I am
assuming this warning are benign. I just wanted to provide a heads
up to the OPS ADs.
