The WG chair asked to deprecate this report and to point to the
implementation report for 2895 (RFC2895 obsoletes 2074).

Implementation Report for RFC 2074 :
Remote Network Monitoring MIB Protocol Identifiers

WG Chair: Andy Bierman
December 4, 2002
------------------------------

Introduction
------------

This report summarizes the implementation reports received
for RFC 2074. A survey for this RFC was sent to the WG
mailing list and the results shown below are aligned with
that survey form.

Survey Issues
-------------

RFC 2074 defines the Protocol Identifier macro format and
is used for the index structure of the RMON protocol directory
defined in RFC 2021. MIB walks of the protocolDirTable
for multiple independent implementations indicate consistent
representation of protocol encapsulations. In addition,
multiple independent software tools have been developed
which parse the RMON protocol identifier macro. These tools
are used to assist in the protocol decode engine development for
an RMON-2 agent.

At least two independent implementations of all RMON protocol
identifier features exist, however there is one minor
feature that was not fully verified by the implementation
reports. Only one returned survey indicated that all protocol
parameters were implemented. These parameters identify
protocol decoding capabilities that are considered to be
beyond the core feature set of RMON-2 agents.
   
Survey Conclusion
-----------------

The RMONMIB WG believes the requirements for advancement of
the Protocol Identifier Macro specification in RFC 2074 to
Draft Standard have been met.

Survey Respondents
------------------

There were two responses, labeled 'A' and 'B' in the
response summary section, which correspond to the following
vendor implementations:

      A == Network Harmoni agent
      B == Cisco Systems Network Analysis Module agent
