1.  Introduction

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
   A separate memo [16] defines managed objects, in a manner independent
   of the type of network, for controlling the selection, collection and
   storage of accounting information into files for later retrieval via
   a file transfer protocol. This memo defines a set of ATM-specific
   accounting information which can be collected for connections on ATM
   networks.
