Abstract
This document defines the procedures for IANA to administer and
maintain the Object Identifier (OID) tree under the Remote Monitoring
(rmon) root. This memo also documents the currently assigned values.
1. Introduction
The RMONMIB Working Group so far has maintained its own registry for
OID assignments for new MIB modules under the root OID for rmon
[RFC 2819]. This has worked reasonably well, although errors had to
be corrected at a late stage one or two times, and a few now defunct
assignments have been made as well.
It is also a somewhat non-standard way of doing things, because
normally a new standards track MIB module will get a MIB root
assigned at the time that the module is being published as part of an
RFC.
This document lists the currently assigned rmon OIDs. It also
describes the procedures and rules for new assignments and asks IANA
to take over the responsibility for existing and future assignments.
The current assignments are not all too logical. Initially normal
MIB OIDs were assigned under rmon, but at a later time the WG used
the rmon root OID to create new MIB modules underneath it. Some
