Abstract

   This document records the transfer of ownership of a number of MIBs
   relating to ethernet, from the IETF to IEEE 802.3.  Like RFC 4663, it
   describes the procedures associated with the transfer.  Unlike RFC
   4663, this documentation is retrospective in nature, since the
   transfer happened several years ago.  Deviations from the planned
   procedures described in RFC 4663 are noted for historical interest
   [in a later version of this draft - PTT].

1.  Introduction

   [RFC4663], published in September, 2006, described a plan for
   transferring four MIBs related to bridges from IETF to IEEE 802.1
   ownership.  Some years later, another transfer of ownership took
   place, this time related to ethernet and directed to IEEE 802.3.
   [RFC4663] clearly enunciates the motivation for the transfers and
   also provides an introduction to IEEE standardization procedures.
   The discussions of those topics will not be repeated here.

   The IEEE version of this second lot of transferred MIBs was published
   as 802.3.1-2011 in February, 2011.  The IEEE 802.3.1 specification
   was subsequently updated.  The latest version, IEEE 802.3.1-2013
   [IEEE802.3.1-2013], is the basis for this document.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   This document uses no requirements language.

2.  IETF and Corresponding IEEE 802.3 MIBs

   This section tabulates the MIBs that were transferred to IEEE 802.3,
   identifying the IETF source document, the corresponding chapter of
   [IEEE802.3.1-2013], and the location of the MIB itself in ASCII
   format.
