Re: [nv-l] experimental OID

[Bill Evans <wvevans@prodigy.net>]

Searching the Internet gives a few answers.  According to the IANA listing
the interpretation is 
> 1.3.6.1.3.109  is an  HDSL2-SHDSL MIB  registered by 
>  Mike Sneed, <Mike.Sneed@go.ecitele.com> in January 2001.
Mike Sneed is the chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force  working group
for the topic.

I did a search on the acronyms and apparently it's High Bit-rate DSL and
Multirate HDSL2 equipment still mostly in development.  
 
 Patton Electronics (www.patton.com) (and others?) evidently has such a device
on the market.  
 
 http://www.simpleweb.org/ietf/rfcs/rfcbymodule.html has a list of RFCs/MIBs 
which may help since the site  includes RFC3276 which covers HDSL2-SHDSL.

 Someday we'll all catch up with you but at the moment you seem to be on
the edge of technology with whatever device is sending this trap. 

I  don't do any better than James at tracking the experimental side of the
house.Over the past two decades I have seen a few instances of experimental
MIBs which have "escaped" from the labs into production environments but
it's rare that this happens.    There are only 121 entries in the list of
experimental MIBs compared to 15,000+ in the private leg of the tree.  25
or so of those (like Ethernet) have been moved to the MIB2 or private branches.
