Definitions of Managed Objects for Service Level Agreements Performance Monitoring

RFC 2758                       SLAPM-MIB                   February 2000


      operations and associated PDU formats is described in RFC 1905
      [6].

   o  A set of fundamental applications described in RFC 2573 [9] and
      the view-based access control mechanism described in RFC 2575
      [11].

   Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
   the Management Information Base or MIB.  Objects in the MIB are
   defined using the mechanisms defined in the SMI.

   This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2.  A
   MIB conforming to the SMIv1 can be produced through the appropriate
   translations.  The resulting translated MIB must be semantically
   equivalent, except where objects or events are omitted because no
   translation is possible (use of Counter64).  Some machine readable
   information in SMIv2 will be converted into textual descriptions in
   SMIv1 during the translation process.  However, this loss of machine
   readable information is not considered to change the semantics of the
   MIB.

3.0  Structure of the MIB

   The SLAPM-MIB consists of the following components:

   o  scalar objects

   o  slapmPolicyNameTable

   o  slapmPolicyRuleStatsTable (equivalent to the deprecated
      slapmPolicyStatsTable)

   o  slapmPRMonTable (equivalent to the deprecated
      slapmPolicyMonitorTable)

   o  slapmSubcomponentTable

   Refer to the compliance statement defined within SLAPM-MIB for a
   definition of what objects and notifications MUST be implemented by
   all systems as opposed to those that MUST be implemented by end
   systems only.

   Initially most of the tables defined by the MIB module within this
   document where directly indexed using a policy's name and a
   subordinate traffic profile name.  Over time the structure and
   resulting naming has grown more complex and as such has exceeded the
   capacity of being used as a direct MIB table index.  As a result of
   this the original tables (slapmPolicyStatsTable and
