Abstract
This document defines the procedures for IANA to administer and
maintain the Object Identifier (OID) tree under the rmon root. This
memo also documents the currently assigned values.
1. Introduction
The RMONMIB Working Group so far has maintained its own registry for
OID assignments for new MIB modules under the root OID for rmon
[RFC2819]. This has worked reasonably well, although errors had to be
corrected at a late stage one or two times, and a few now defunct
assignments have been made as well.

It is also a somewhat non-standard way of doing things, because
normally a new standards track MIB module will get a MIB root
assigned at the time that the module is being published as part of an
RFC.
This document lists the currently assigned rmon OIDs. It also
describes the procedures and rules for new assignments and asks IANA
to take over the responsibility for new and future assignments.
The current assignments are not all too logical. Initialy normal MIB
OIDs were assigned under rmon, but at a later time the WG used the
rmon root OID to create new MIB modules underneath it. Some people
will claim 'an OID is just an OID', and while this is true, it does
not make things easier if the organisation of OIDs is not logical.
However, we cannot change what has been assigned in the past. From
now on, only MODULE-IDENTITY macro (MIB root) assignments will be
made (by IANA) under the 'rmon' node. Within a MIB module, the
working group authors/editors can then assign their own OIDs
according to normal procedures.
2. Currently assigned OIDs under the rmon root
At the time of this writing, the following OIDs have been assigned
and IANA is requested to pick up this information in their public
registry of assigned values. These should be listed as part of the
already existing smi-numbers registry at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers.
...mib-2.rmon (1.3.6.1.2.1.16)
The assignments under ...mib-2.rmon were maintained by the RMONMIB
Working Group untill publication of RFC XXXX. Some (early)
assignments may not look all too logical. That is true, but that is
history and cannot be changed. From now on, only MODULE-IDENTITY
macro (MIB root) assignments will be made (by IANA) under the 'rmon'
node.

3. How to request a new assignment for a MIB module
When anyone is writing a internet-draft for which a new assignment is
needed/wanted under the rmon OID, then the proper way to do so is as
follows:
EXAMPLE-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS
rmon FROM RMON-MIB
.. other imports ..
exampleMIB MODULE-IDENTITY
... other normal MODULE-IDENTITY stuff ...
::= { rmon nnn } -- IANA: please assign nnn
-- RFC-Editor: replace nnn with IANA-assigned
-- number and remove this note
4. Security Considerations
This memo describes procedures for IANA assignment of OBJECT
IDENTIFIER values, and has no impact on the security of the Internet.
5. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to pick up the initial set of assignments and
integrate them into the existing registry for smi-numbers at
http://www.iana.org/assignments/smi-numbers
The list is presented in Section 2.
IANA is also requested to maintain this registry for future
assignments. New assignments can only be made via Standards Action as
described in [RFC2434].
6. Acknowledgments
This document was produced as a result of discussion between the
Operations and Management AD responsible for Network Management and
the WG chair for the RMONMIB Working Group. Thanks to Andy Bierman
for keeping and administering the registry up to this point in time.
The document has been reviewed by the RMONMIB Working Group.
