The IESG has received a request from the Bidirectional Forwarding Detection WG (bfd) to consider the following document: - 'Definitions of Textual Conventions (TCs) for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Management' <draft-ietf-bfd-tc-mib-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2014-04-28. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This draft defines two Management Information Base (MIB) modules that contain Textual Conventions to represent commonly used Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) management information. The intent is that these TEXTUAL CONVENTIONS (TCs) will be imported and used in BFD related MIB modules that would otherwise define their own representations. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-tc-mib/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-tc-mib/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
