1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines a MIB module that can be used to manage
pseudowire (PW) services for transmission over a Packet Switched
Network (PSN) [RFC3931] [RFC4447]. This MIB module provides generic
management of PWs that is common to all types of PSN and PW services
defined by the IETF PWE3 Working Group.
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
