      Definitions of Managed Objects for the Fourth Version of the
              Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) using SMIv2

Status of this Memo

   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

1. Introduction

   This memo 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 used for managing the
   Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower [1, 2].

2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework

   The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
   components.  They are:

      RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing
      and naming objects for the purpose of management.

      STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
      forthe Internet suite of protocols.

      RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other architectural
      aspects of the framework.

      RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
      managed objects.

   The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
   experimentation and evaluation.
