Intro
Presentation on new I-D.
Path forward for new I-D
ADSL forum update
Next Steps for WG
IDSL/SDSL/DDSL MIB initiative
Agenda Bashing/Mike Sneed
No comments
Presentation of new ID/Greg Bathrick
4 categories of changes
Chicago
Use perf currernt count and perf interval count
Updated security statement to conform with current practice.
JeffÆs Review
RE-ORG USE OF IF_MIB section
Changed defÆn of profile contriol objects
Removed refÆs to if-test types
Syntax changes, SNR, attenuation, attainable rate, output power, adslLineSpecific
Removed ifindex from traps
Changed if type to 89 experimental.
Comments, if it is already assigned as 94, why not use it?
Correction 94 is if type but 89 is OID under MIB2
CPE View
Updated text and conformance statements only
CPE view includes
ATU-R perf info
Some ATU-C performance
Line and channel information,
Work originated with Faye Ly
Profile Index change to SNMP admin string
Benefits
User friendly, reduces transactions due to direct indexing, reduces manager caching, eliminates complex get next mechanism
ID Changes
Change profile index to SnmpAdminString
Remove indexnextobject mechanism
Group agreed that I-D was ready to go to WG last call. Greg B. will attempt to have the revised work ready for Christmas.
ADSL Forum Update/Gigi Kharmous-Edwards
ADSLF Liaison
Capability bitmap, deferred
Power management and status
Request can be accomodated by adding to the adslLineStatus bitmap
Line state counters
Counter objects for fast retrains and failed fast retrains
Block error handling
Current MIB focus is a superframe, granularity does not match lowest unit of correctable or errored data (FEC code block)
Errored seconds vs. severely errored seconds
Need to define what threshold of problems defines a severely errored second
Profile table changes
Line mode configuration object required
Fast only, interleave only, both
Discussion on the number of indirect mechanisms that permit some of this to be defined.
Suggestion is that a ôtrumpöobject which defines intent and other config parameters can be audited against.
Next Steps Discussion
Chair recommendation is to defer G.lite
Question: Why are we deferring G.lite and G.dmt.
Answer: MIB based on issue 1.
Question: There is negligible issue 1 deployed.
Information: T1.413 issue 3 is not going to go forward.
Discussion around ôdeferringö addressing ITU-T G.99x series of recommendations. Chairs recommendation is not to defer this work, but to defer incorporating it into the proposed MIB until we have revÆved it to proposed standard. (Dick Stuart/3Com).
Agreed that the current I-D should go to WG last call.
Agreed that we need to expand our charter to address the ITU-T G.99x series of recommendations (.dmt, .hs, .ref, .lite, .ploam).
SDSL/IDSL Presentation
(need slides from Faye Ly/CopperMountain)
SDSL./IDSL lines modeled as single I/F in interface table.
Presentation of information required (see attached slides).
Q: Is copper mountain going to participate in G.shdsl
Is there interest, Faye willing to do the work.
Information: IETF has ITU membership so work here can be sent to the ITU. ITU does not await complete work but is document driven. Suggestion of a WG liaison to the ITU
Concensus on adding SDSL/IDSL to the charter.
Response to the ADSL liaison is that we will address the requested issues, but not in the current ID going to WG last call. Gigi Karmous-Edwards (IETF Liaison officer) will generate the response.
Attachment 1: Liaison from ADSL Forum
To: Mike Sneed and Dave Allan, Co-Chairs of the IETF ADSL working group

Subject: Recommended changes to the ADSL line MIB
The Network Management working group in the ADSL Forum has reviewed contribution ADSLForum98-196, ôAligning ADSL Line MIB with ANSI T1M1 & ITU-T G.997.1 (Draft from the G.ploam) and ADSLForum98-205, ôG997.1ö.
The following are the recommendations made by the Network Management working group to the IETF:
ADSL Transmission
Since modems can be programmed to support more than one mode of operation. An object should be defined as a bit-map as follows:
Bit 01 : Regional Std. (ANSI T1.413)
Bit 02 : Regional Std. (ETSI DTS/TM06006)
Bit 03 : G.992.1 POTS non-overlapped
Bit 04 : G.992.1 POTS overlapped
Bit 05 : G.992.1 ISDN non-overlapped
Bit 06 : G.992.1 ISDN overlapped
Bit 07 : G.992.1 with TCM-ISDN
Bit 08 : G.992.2 POTS non-overlapped
Bit 09 : G.992.2 POTS overlapped
Bit 10 : G.992.2 with TCM-ISDN
We recommend the following four new MIB Variables:
Atuc ADSL Mode Capability
Atur ADSL Mode Capability
Atuc ADSL Mode Enable
Current ADSL Mode
Power management and status
For power management, we will state in the MIB how to use ifOperStatus and ifAdminStatus should be used for the operational and non-operational states.
Add to the existing adslLineStatus bitmap to include the low power state.
ADSL Line State Counters
Add counter objects for the number of fast retrains and failed fast retrains.
Fault Management of TC interface
Recommend to the IETF ATM working group to add TC support for ADSL dual latency physical medium parameters like LCD, HEC violations count, HEC total cell count, User total cell count, and Idle cell Bit errors.
Recommend changing the descriptive definition of blocks from a CRC Block to an FEC block. Change the wording of superframe to frame.
Performance management
Add objects to represent severely errored seconds (SES) and unavailable errored seconds (UAS).
Profile Table additions/changes
Add an object to represent the line mode configuration (Fast only, Interleave only, Both, etc.).
Change the range of Current output power to û31 to +31
Change the range of current SNR to û64 to + 64
