Abstract
This document is one in the series of documents that define various
MIB objects for IPv6. Specifically, this document is the MIB module
which defines managed objects for implementations of the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IP Version 6 (IPv6).
This document also recommends a specific policy with respect to the
applicability of RFC 2013 for implementations of IPv6. Namely, that
most of managed objects defined in RFC 2013 are independent of which
IP versions underlie UDP, and only the UDP listener information is IP
version-specific.
This memo defines an experimental portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
IPv6-based internets.
1. Introduction
A management system contains: several (potentially many) nodes, each
with a processing entity, termed an agent, which has access to
management instrumentation; at least one management station; and, a
management protocol, used to convey management information between
the agents and management stations. Operations of the protocol are
carried out under an administrative framework which defines
authentication, authorization, access control, and privacy policies.
