Finally, last para of sectin 4.5, "Mnemonics appearing in the Abstract"
and 'meaning of the mnemonics "IP" or "TCP" or "MIB"' -- you mean
acronym, not mnemonic.


Um, you mean abbreviation, not acronym.  No such English word as ip, tcp of
mib as far as I know :)  Mnemonic, ironically, is actually closer in meaning
since IP is kind of a de facto mnemonic for Internet Protocol.
