The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Deprecation of MIB Module NAT-MIB (Managed Objects for Network Address Translators (NAT))' (draft-perrault-behave-deprecate-nat-mib-v1-04.txt) as Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Spencer Dawkins. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-perrault-behave-deprecate-nat-mib-v1/ Note: The objects defined in RFC 4008, which this document deprecates, generate the following SMILINT warnings: mibs/NAT-MIB:932: [5] {index-exceeds-too-large} warning: index of row `natAddrBindEntry' can exceed OID size limit by 141 subidentifier(s) mibs/NAT-MIB:1162: [5] {index-exceeds-too-large} warning: index of row `natAddrPortBindEntry' can exceed OID size limit by 143 subidentifier(s) The authors have not corrected those errors, but only flagged the OID as deprecated. Technical Summary This memo deprecates MIB module NAT-MIB, a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) previously defined in RFC 4008 for devices implementing Network Address Translator (NAT) function. A companion document defines a new version, NAT-MIB-V2, which responds to deficiencies found in module NAT-MIB and adds new capabilities. This document obsoletes RFC 4008. Working Group Summary At Dave Harrington's suggestion, this material, deprecating NAT-MIB, was moved into its own document, from draft-perrault-behave-natv2-mib Document Quality David Harrington reviewed this material before it was moved into its own draft. Personnel Spencer Dawkins is the responsible area director, and is acting as document shepherd.
