Description of Working Group
The AToM MIB Working Group is chartered to define sets of managed
objects which will be useful in the management of ATM and SONET
equipment (interfaces, networks, and/or services that conform
to the relevant ATM and SONET specifications). The initial sets
defined will be:
- An interface-specific MIB for ATM interfaces, which is aligned with
the managed objects for interface layering being defined by the
Interfaces MIB Working Group. The working group should consider
the ATM Forum's ILMI MIB for its suitability in this respect, plus
any extensions necessary to instrument the layers between the ATM
layer and the IP layer (e.g., AAL5). The latter should
take into account the work of the IP over ATM
Working Group (e.g., the ``Multi-Protocol over AAL5''
specification).
- Managed objects for the monitoring and control of ATM PVCs and
SVCs, both in ATM end-points and in ATM switches or networks.
(Objects for ATM SVCs will be considered after completion of the
work on ATM PVCs.)
- Managed objects that instrument devices with SONET interfaces
that conform with the relevant SONET specifications. This work
should closely align to other trunk MIBs (DS1/E1 MIB, DS3/E3 MIB).
The working group should consider the existing Internet-Draft SONET
MIB for its suitability in this respect.
