AIW APPN MIBs SIG & IETF SNA NAU MIB WG
Minutes 7/16-7/18 1996 at AIW11

Chair - Bill Kwan (Jupiter Technology)

This is the minutes of the joint meeting between the AIW APPN MIBs SIG and
IETF SNA NAU MIB WG at AIW11. 

The following topics were discussed:

1) The new SIG charter, which added work for DLUR and EBN MIBs, was proposed 
     and approved.

2) Changing the name of the SIG from APPN/HPR MIB to just APPN MIBs was 
    proposed and approved.

3) The status of the APPC MIB was discussed. It has been approved by the 
   IETF/IESG to be a proposed standard. It is currently awaiting for a RFC 
   number (and it is still awaiting for a RFC number).

4) The status of the APPN MIB was discussed. It is currently awaiting the 
   review of Randy Persuhn (Peer Networks) for the IETF NM Directorate. After 
   the meeting, we received the feedback from Randy. The next is for the 
   SIG/WG to address the issues. Anticipate this to be completed by the later
   part of August. A new Internet Draft will be issued.

5) The HPR MIB was granted AP. Only changed identified was a clarification
   in the description of hprRtpRscv to indicate that the value returned could
   be some other "valid RSCV" value.  We will be asking for electronic CP 
   within the next couple of weeks.

6) The DLUR MIB was granted CP. The two sets of objects (LU configuration
   information and session statistics) that was brought up at AIW10 will be
   consideration for inclusion at a later time (depending on contributions).
   An Internet-Draft will be produced for submission to the IETF NM Directorate
   for review.

7) The latest draft of the SNA NAU MIB (draft-ietf-snanau-naumib-01.txt) was
   reviewed and no issues were raised. It will be submitted to the IETF NM
   Area Directorate for review. It will be replacing RFC1666 and recycled as 
   a proposed standard.
 
8) Mark Regan (cisco) presented a requirement for learning the network and
   local topology of all APPN nodes being managed via SNMP. He recommended 
   adding IP and SNMP information in the TDU. The APPN architects was 
   resistent to adding anymore information to the TDU. It was suggested to look
   at using the Domain Name Server.  There is similar requirements for 
   registering APPN resources with CPI-C. The plan is to try to have a joint 
   discussion/meeting with the CPI-C RIG at the next AIW.

9) Katie Lee (IBM) gave a presentation on a proposed structure for an Extended
   Border Node MIB. The suggestion was to extend or augment the existing
   APPN MIB with additional tables, objects and groups. It was a good start,
   but concerns were raised that many of the tables may not be useful. We 
   needed to start with the requirements. Since Katie and Bob Moore (IBM) had started
   with some basic requirements, they will start the discussion going by
   posting their original list. The plan is to better formulate the 
   requirements over the mailing list and have another proposal by the next AIW.

Thanks to everybody who attended and participated in the meetings.
Next meeting will be at AIW12 (week of 11/4).
