Abstract Abstract
This memo presents an SMIng module that introduces core data types SMIng (Structure of Management Information, Next Generation)
such as counters, date and time related types, and various string [RFCxxx1] is a protocol-independent data definition language for
types. management information. This memo presents an SMIng module which
defines a set of derived types for common purposes such as counters,
date and time related types, and various string types.

1. Introduction 1. Introduction
Most SMIng [SMIng] modules are built on top of some core definitions Most SMIng [RFCxxx1] modules are built on top of the definitions of
of commonly used data types. These core type definitions are some commonly used derived types. The definitions of these derived

Its data types are generally applicable for modelling all areas of this memo. Its derived types are generally applicable for modelling
management information. Among these types are counter types, string all areas of management information. Among these derived types are
types and date and time related types. counter types, string types and date and time related types.
