The IESG has approved the following document: - 'ForCES MIB ' <draft-ietf-forces-mib-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Forwarding and Control Element Separation Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ross Callon and David Ward. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-forces-mib-10.txt Technical Summary This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it defines managed objects for the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) Network Element (NE). Working Group Summary This is the MIB that goes with the Forces Protocol (see draft-ietf-forces-protocol). This document was produced very smoothly in the Forces WG. There were some discussions on the mailing list but no conflicts (see PROTO writeup in the ID Tracker). Protocol Quality There are at least 4 different implementations of the ForCES protocol. One university indicated that they are also working on the implementation of the MIB. The MIB has had Gen-Art and Sec-Dir reviews, as well as MIB-Dr reviews by John Flick and Bert Wijnen.
