I like to point out that there are no standard MIBs for monitoring
boxes such as CGN. The MIB modules we have lack features. See for
example here:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-schoenw-behave-nat-mib-bis-00
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-perreault-opsawg-natmib-bis-00
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-behave-nat-mib-00

The last one is mentioned in the sunset4 charter, not sure whether
this means the intention is to move this document from behave to
sunset4. Perhaps the intention was just to be undefined. ;-)
