The IESG has approved the following document:

Translators (NAT))'
(draft-perrault-behave-deprecate-nat-mib-v1-04.txt) as Proposed

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.
Ballot Text
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.
