Hi Joel The reason this was requested by the community is that there is SNMP management equipment deployed that they would like to be able use for monitoring IP-TFS. I suggest I add this text to clearify. OLD: The objects defined here are the same as [I-D.ietf-ipsecme-yang-iptfs] with the exception that only operational data is supported. This module uses the YANG model as a reference point for managed objects. Note an IETF MIB model for IPsec was never standardized however the structures here could be adapted to existing MIB implementations. NEW: The objects defined here are the same as [I-D.ietf-ipsecme-yang-iptfs] with the exception that only operational data is supported. By making operational data accessible via SNMP existing network management systems can monitor IP-TFS. This module uses the YANG model as a reference point for managed objects. Note an IETF MIB model for IPsec was never standardized however the structures here could be adapted to existing MIB implementations. Doses that suffice?

Major issues: The one question I have is "why?" I could not find anywhere in the document any explanation of why we are defining an SNMP MIB for monitoring ipsecme, nor the equivalent why an operator would choose to use this MIB instead of the YANG based model that it is based upon.
