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.

Working Group Summary

   At Dave Harrington's suggestion, this material, deprecating 
   NAT-MIB, was moved into its own document, from
   draft-perrault-behave-natv2-mib

Document Quality

   David Harrington reviewed this material before it was moved
   into its own draft.

Personnel
