 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories.                                                              

       Title     : Support for Large Integers in SNMP                      
       Author(s) : D. Perkins

This memo is informational.  It specifies an approach to add 64-bit signed 
and unsigned integer types to versions 1 and 2 of the SNMP 
SMI[1][2][3][4][5][6], and versions 1 and 2 of the SNMP protocol[7][8][9] 
without changes. Thus, this addition requires no modifications to existing 
SNMP MIB compilers, and no changes to existing SNMP protocol engines used 
in SNMP agents and SNMP management applications.      
                     
This memo does not specify a standard for the Internet community.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-perkins-bigint-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
