RFC1269 Definitions of Managed Objects for the Border Gateway
Protocol: Version 3
Why would this be cruft? The BGP4 MIB was just recently approved...
Good thing too. Take a good look at 1269. I don't think it would pass
a MIB compiler test today. If you approved the BGP4-MIB,
ought not that have obsoleted this guy?
The new doc (in IESG evaluation status) is
draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-mib-15.txt
And its abstract says it all:
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing the
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 or lower.
The origin of this memo is from RFC 1269 "Definitions of Managed
Objects for the Border Gateway Protocol (Version 3)", which was
updated to support BGP-4 in RFC 1657. This memo fixes errors
introduced when the MIB module was converted to use the SMIv2
language. This memo also updates references to the current SNMP
framework documents.
This memo is intended to document deployed implementations of this
MIB module in a historical context, provide clarifications of some
items and also note errors where the MIB module fails to fully
represent the BGP protocol. Work is currently in progress to replace
this MIB module with a new one representing the current state of the
BGP protocol and its extensions.
This document obsoletes RFC 1269 and RFC 1657.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Please forward comments to
idr(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
So 1269 will soon be made OBSOLETED
I will look at other MIB related documents next week.
