Description of Working Group:
 
The ADSL Working Group is chartered to define a set of managed objects 
to be used for management of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line services 
as defined by ANSI T1.413.  The initial effort will define those 
management objects common to all ADSL lines regardless of line-code.  
The devices to be managed using these managed objects will include:

   1) Access provider equipment containing ATU-C modems,
      such as DSLAMs, and

   2) Subscriber equipment containing ATU-R modems such as routers,
      NIC cards, and standalone modem devices.

The MIBs defined by this group will be generated using SMIv2, will be 
consistent with the SNMP management framework, and will describe the
relationship of the objects defined to existing MIBs such as those
described by RFC2233, and RFC1695.  The working group will consider the 
input of the ADSL forum, and will utilize the existing ADSL Forum line 
MIB as a starting point for its work when that document is submitted as 
an Internet Draft.  The working group plans on producing a single 
standards track MIB suitable for use in both access provider and 
subscriber equipment.
