The IESG has approved RFC2895, 'Remote Network Monitoring MIB
Protocol Identifier Reference' to advance to a Draft Standard. This
document is the product of the Remote Network Monitoring
Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen
and Randy Bush
Technical Summary
This memo defines a notation describing protocol layers in a protocol
encapsulation, specifically for use in encoding INDEX values for the
protocolDirTable, found in the RMON-2 MIB (Remote Network Monitoring
Management Information Base) (RFC2021). The definitions for the
standard protocol directory base layer identifiers are also included.
The first version of the RMON Protocol Identifiers Document (RFC2074)
has been split into a standards-track Reference portion (this
document), and an Informational document. The RMON Protocol
Identifier Macros document (RFC2896) now contains the non-normative
portion of that specification.
This document obsoletes RFC 2074.
