Description of Working Group:

The Ethernet Interfaces and Hub MIB WG is Chartered to define
a set of managed objects that instrument devices, MAUs and
interfaces that conform to the IEEE 802.3 standard for Ethernet.
This set of objects should be largely compliant with, and even
draw from IEEE 802.3, although there is no requirement that any
specific object be present or absent.

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 working group will work on the following MIB modules
for the IEEE 802.3ah (Ethernet First Mile) interfaces and
devices:

- Ethernet First Mile (EFM) MIB
   common attributes, OAM operations and statistics

- Copper EFM MIB

- Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON) MIB

The base for the definition of the managed objects in these
MIB modules will be the management-related clauses in IEEE
802.3ah specification. The working group will also take
into consideration management objects defined by other
Working Groups in the IETF (ADSL MIB for example), or other
standard bodies (G.983.2), will avoid work duplication,
and describe the relationship with these specifications.

Goals and Milestones:
  Done        Meet at the 41st IETF to discuss implementation experience of
              RFC 2108 and RFC 2239, and to consider future extensions for
              Full Duplex operation and 1 Gigabit Ethernet Speeds
  Done        Gather implementation experience feedback concerning RFC 2108
              and RFC 2239
  Done        Post Internet-Draft(s) for Full Duplex and 1 Gigabit Ethernet
              MIB extensions
  Done        Meet at the 42nd IETF to discuss the Internet-Draft(s) and
              issue recomendations concerning advancement of RFC 2108 and
              RFC 2239 on the standards track
  Done        Post revised Internet-Draft(s)
  Done        Conduct WG Last Call on Internet-Draft(s)

              Area Directorate review
  Done        Submit final versions of the MAU MIB and Ethernet-like
              Interfaces MIB Internet-Draft(s) to the IESG for
