                        IP Forwarding Table MIB

Status of this Memo

   This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
   community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
   Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
   Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
   Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
   In particular, it defines objects for managing routes in the IP
   Internet.

   It is proposed that the ipRouteTable defined by MIB-II (RFC 1213) be
   deprecated and replaced with this table.  This adds the ability to
   set or display multi-path routes, and varying routes by network
   management policy.
