A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Middlebox Communication Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Middlebox Communications (MIDCOM) Protocol Managed Objects Analysis
Author(s) : M. Barnes
Filename : draft-ietf-midcom-mib-analysis-01.txt
Pages : 26
Date : 2003-10-27
This document provides an analysis and identification of the managed
objects for dynamic configuration of middleboxes. The scope of the
middleboxes to which these managed objects apply is limited to NATs
and Firewalls. However, the managed objects as identified in this
document are intended to provide a baseline for the dynamic
configuration of other types of middleboxes. The applicability of
existing Management Information Base (MIB) modules to the MIDCOM
requirements, framework and semantics is described. Additional
managed objects are identified to satisfy the entirety of the MIDCOM
requirements, framework and semantics and to provide a complete
MIDCOM MIB for NATs and Firewalls to fully realize the requirements
of the MIDCOM protocol. The actual definition of any new managed
objects is provided in a separate document [MDCMIB].

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-mib-analysis-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
