EFM MIB Work in the IETF (Was: RE: [EFM]Event Time Stamp)
David, and all,
To be accurate - no work has been started in the IETF on an SNMP MIB specification for EFM. Some discussions have been conducted on the mail list, and a number of individuals representing different vendors expressed their interest to particpate in such work - but these folks are still to get their act together in order for this work to happen. This means proposing a charter, and starting to work in the initial Internet-Drafts proposals. There is no much time left until the next IETF meeting, which happens to be scheduled in parallel with the November IEEE Plenary.
Regards,
Dan
