                  xDSL multi-pair bonding (G.Bond) MIB
                  draft-ietf-adslmib-gbond-mib-10.txt

Abstract

   This document defines Management Information Base (MIB) module for
   use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
   This document proposes an extension to the Interfaces Group MIB with
   a set of common objects for managing multi-pair bonded Digital
   Subscriber Line (xDSL) interfaces, defined in ITU-T recommendations
   G.998.1, G.998.2 and G.998.3.  The MIB modules specific to each
   bonding technology are defined in G9981-MIB, G9982-MIB and G9983-MIB
   respectively.

1.  Introduction

   The xDSL Multi-Pair Bonding, allows a service provider to provide
   high bandwidth services to business and residential customers over
   multiple xDSL lines, with greater speed and resiliency, than the
   service over a single xDSL line, bridging the gap between xDSL and
   fiber-based transport.

   There are three xDSL Multi-Pair Bonding schemes, also known under
   collective name G.Bond:

   o  The ATM-Based Multi-Pair Bonding, specified in ITU-T G.998.1
