The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BFD Management Information Base' (draft-ietf-bfd-mib-22.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-mib/ Technical Summary This documen defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it describes managed objects for modeling Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol. Working Group Summary This document received commentary from multiple individuals that have had prior SNMP MIB authoring and implementation experience. The document was also reviewed in the context of additional BFD work besides providing base MIB functionality for the above RFCs. This includes BFD multi-point, BFD over LAG. It also has been reviewed as being the basis MIB for the BFD MPLS MIB. The working group, authors, and WG chairs discussed the issue of write- access in its own right and in the context of the IESG statement on this topic. The conclusion was that the level of write-access in this document is correct, consistent with implementations of both agents and management stations, and appropriate. If the majority of work on this document had not pre-dated the IESG statement, things might have been somewhat different, but it was felt that the current state of this document is correct. Document Quality As is typical with MIB documents, several vendors implement the contents of the BFD MIB in various enterprise MIBs with greater or lesser attention paid to the exact structure of this document. MIBs are seldom fully finished at vendors until the publication of the MIB as an RFC wherein all the code points are finalized with IANA and other authorities. In particular, the Textual-Convention draft covers various TCs that do not share consistent implementations across the vendors. By publishing an RFC, these code points will become normalized across the vendors. Being a MIB document, review by the MIB doctors is always appreciated.
