Abstract

   This document introduces a Management Information Base (MIB) module
   that defines textual conventions to represent commonly used
   transport-layer addressing information.  The definitions are
   compatible with the concept of TAddress/TDomain pairs introduced by
   the Structure of Management Information version 2 (SMIv2) and support
   the Internet transport protocols over IPv4 and IPv6.
