Close coordination with hardware standards development in IEEE 802.3 will be followed. The WG chair will support the communication with IEEE 802.3. When objects are added that require hardware support, IEEE 802.3 shall be informed, so that they consider to add them to their draft/standard.
The MIB object definitions produced will be for use by SNMP and will be adequately consistent with other SNMP objects, standards and conventions.
The WG will define new MIB objects to cover the following 802.3 technologies:
P802.3ae - 10 Gb/s Ethernet
P802.3af - DTE Power via MDI
