Status of this Memo

   This RFC contains definitions of managed objects used as experimental
   extensions to the generic interfaces structure of MIB-II.  This memo
   is a product of the SNMP Working Group of the Internet Engineering
   Task Force (IETF).  This RFC specifies an IAB standards track
   protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and
   suggestions for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of
   the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1.  Abstract

   This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management
   Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
   TCP/IP-based internets.  In particular, it defines managed object
   types as experimental extensions to the generic interfaces structure
   of MIB-II.

2.  The Network Management Framework

   The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
   components.  They are:

      RFC 1155 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
      and naming objects for the purpose of management.  RFC 1212
