Description of Working Group:

The Bridge MIB Working Group is chartered to define a set of managed 
objects that instrument devices that conform to the IEEE 802.1
standards for MAC-layer bridges.

This set of objects should be largely compliant with (and even draw 
from) those objects defined within each of the IEEE 802.1 standards, 
although there is no requirement that any specific object be present or 
absent.

The set of objects should not duplicate, nor conflict with any MIB
object definitions defined by the IEEE 802.1 standards themselves.

The MIB object definitions produced will be for use by SNMP and will be 
consistent with other SNMP objects, standards, and conventions.

 Goals and Milestones:

   Done         Publish initial proposal. 

   Done         Submit an Internet-Draft. 

   Done         Submit draft for RFC publication. 

   Done         Publish a draft revision to RFC 1286 that reflects 
                implementation experience and the result of alignments with 
                IEEE work as an Internet-Draft. 

   Done         Publish a draft SNMP MIB that instruments functions specific to 
                source routed bridges as an Internet-Draft. 

   Done         Submit a draft MIB for source routing bridge functions to the 
                IESG for consideration as a Proposed Standard. 

   Done         Submit a new MIB document with support for recently developed 
                802.1 specifications to the IESG for consideration as a 
                Proposed Standard. 

   Done         Submit new I-D for RFC 1493 in SMIv2 form 

   Done         Evaluate status of RFC 1493 and the SMIv2 versio and get WG 
                consensus if it should be recycled a Draft or can be elevated 
                to Full Standard 

   Done         Evaluate status of RFC 2674 an get WG consensus if it should be 
                recycled at Proposed or can be elevated to Draft Standard 

   Done         Submit an Internet-Draft (or drafts) with MI support for 
                extensions to the Bridge standards defined in 802.1t, 802.1u, 
                802.1v and 802.1w 

   Done         Revise the Internet-Draft(s) with MIB support for extensions to 
                the Bridge standards defined in 802.1t, 802.1u, 802.1v and 
                802.1w. 

   Done         Submit SMIv2 version of RFC 1493 to IESG fo consideration as 
                Full Standard. 

   Done         Submit completed draft(s) with MIB support for extensions to 
                802.1w to the IESG, for consideration as a Proposed Standard. 

   Done         Submit RFC 2674 (or new I-D if clarifications had to be made) 
                to IESG for consideration as Draft Standard 


 Internet-Drafts:
