Just checking, you meant for this to be an informative reference right?
I'd prefer if we change the example mib module to the IEEE mib module.
RFC 4188 is the last of its kind. IETF gave this mib module and most layer 2 related mibs
over to IEEE. ESXi for example implements IEEE8021-Q-BRIDGE-MIB, REVISION 200810150000Z.

Thanks,
