Technical Summary

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   In particular, it describes objects used for managing multicast
   function, independent of the specific multicast protocol(s) in use.
   This document obsoletes RFC 2932.

Working Group Summary

   There was strong support in the MBONED WG for the adoption of this
   document. There was a general consensus that this MIB addition was
   overdue. 

Protocol Quality

   This document is largely based on RFC2932 and will make it obsolete. 

   There are many implementations of RFC2932 and there are 
   implementations of earlier versions of this draft. Cisco Systems has  
   implemented an earlier version of this draft and Data Connection Ltd 
   has implemented a version of this draft. 

   The document has been reviewed by MIB Doctors Keith McCloghrie and 
Bert Wijnen and by Area Director Dan Romascanu.
