Description of Working Group

The AToM MIB Working Group is chartered to define sets of managed objects which will be useful in the management of ATM and SONET equipment (interfaces, networks, and/or services that conform to the relevant ATM and SONET specifications). The initial sets defined will be:

- An interface-specific MIB for ATM interfaces, which is aligned with the managed objects for interface layering being defined by the Interfaces MIB Working Group. The working group should consider the ATM Forum's ILMI MIB for its suitability in this respect, plus any extensions necessary to instrument the layers between the ATM layer and the IP layer (e.g., AAL5). The latter should take into account the work of the IP over ATM Working Group (e.g., the ``Multi-Protocol over AAL5'' specification).

- Managed objects for the monitoring and control of ATM PVCs and SVCs, both in ATM end-points and in ATM switches or networks. (Objects for ATM SVCs will be considered after completion of the work on ATM PVCs.)

- Managed objects that instrument devices with SONET interfaces that conform with the relevant SONET specifications. This work should closely align to other trunk MIBs (DS1/E1 MIB, DS3/E3 MIB). The working group should consider the existing Internet-Draft SONET MIB for its suitability in this respect.
