FW: The IPSEC MIB documents
It was pointed out to me that I (or someone) should have
informed the IETF NM community about this. Sorry that it
slipped by.
I am not sure if the WG actually decided/reached consensus
on the proposal. We can ask the WG chairs if someone wants
to know.
Thanks,
Bert

Subject: The IPSEC MIB documents
There seems to be very little interest within the IPSEC working group
towards completing many of the IPSEC MIB documents. To that end, after
consulting with the relevant wg chairs and I-D authors, Barbara and I
propose the following path forward:
1) That the following I-D's be dropped as IPSEC wg work items:
draft-ietf-ipsec-ike-monitor-mib
draft-ietf-ipsec-isakmp-di-mon-mib
draft-ietf-ipsec-monitor-mib
draft-ietf-ipsec-doi-tc-mib
2) Since the IPSP working group has an I-D (draft-ietf-ipsp-ipsec-conf-mib)
ready for advancement to RFC status which has a dependency on the
draft-ietf-ipsec-doi-tc-mib document, that this document be
reassigned to the IPSP working group for completion to support their
work. Alternatively, the wg authors of ipsec-conf-mib may decide
that is more suitable to lift the necessary sections out of the
doi-tc-mib and simply drop it into their document. That decision
should be left up to them.
3) That the draft-ietf-ipsec-flow-montioring-mib and
draft-ietf-ipsec-flowmon-mib-tc documents should be modified to
document exactly what is currently being shipped and deployed by
various vendors, and then published as informational RFC's.
In the future, there will no doubt be a need to create MIB's for IKEv2
protocol. It is the our opinion as working group chairs that it will
probably be better to create a new working group to take on this task.
Hopefully this new working group will be able to focus only on this
task, and will be able to attract the necessary people with the
interest, time, and expertise to craft the necessary MIB documents.
This work might use the current IPSEC MIB documents as a base, or they
may decide that it is better to start from a clean slate --- that
decision should be left up a future working group.
