1. Introduction
This memo defines an update to RFC 1354, "IP Forwarding Table MIB",
for Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). That document was
developed by the Router Requirements Working Group as an update to
RFC 1213's ipRouteTable, with the display of multiple routes as
a primary objective. The significant difference between this MIB and
RFC 1354 is the recognition (explicitly discussed but by consensus
left to future work) that CIDR routes may have the
same network number but different network masks. Note that this MIB
obsoletes a number of objects from RFC 1354. The reader should pay
careful attention to the STATUS field.
