Abstract
SMIng (Structure of Management Information, Next Generation)
(RFC3780), is a protocol-independent data definition language for
management information. This memo defines an SMIng language
extension that specifies the mapping of SMIng definitions of
identities, classes, and their attributes and events to dedicated
definitions of nodes, scalar objects, tables and columnar objects,
and notifications, for application to the SNMP management framework.
