Dear Gavin and Peter, Thank you for your liaison and WT-129 Version 3.0. We would be very grateful if you would continue to keep us informed of any changes to this Working Text document. As I informed you in February this year, work has begun on development of a MIB for DSL (ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ and VDSL2) lines. This work has progressed and the latest draft can be found at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-adslmib-vdsl2-01.txt. We would be most pleased, if you would inform us of any feedback that the DSL Forum may have on this document. We would like to raise the issue of xDSL Bonding, as defined by the ITU-T documents G.998.1, G.998.2 and G.998.3. The management of xDSL Bonded lines has currently not been addressed, by the DSL Forum. The IETF ADSL MIB Working Group believes that this issue is important and would be very pleased if the DSL Forum Operations and Network Management Working Group would address this issue and provide a management framework for xDSL Bonding. Yours Sincerely, Menachem Dodge IETF ADSL MIB Working Group Co-Chair.
