Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   In 2005, the IPv6 MIB update group published updated versions of the
   IP-MIB, UDP-MIB, TCP-MIB and IP-FORWARD-MIB modules, which use the
   InetAddressType/InetAddress construct to handle IPv4 and IPv6 in the
   same table.  This document contains versions of the obsoleted
   IPV6-MIB, IPV6-TC, IPV6-ICMP-MIB, IPV6-TCP-MIB and IPV6-UDP-MIB
   modules, for the purpose of updating MIB module repositories.
