Abstract
This memo contains various protocol identifier examples, which can be
used to produce valid protocolDirTable INDEX encodings, as defined by
the Remote Network Monitoring MIB (Management Information Base)
Version 2 [RFC2021] and the RMON Protocol Identifier Reference
[RFC2895].
This document contains protocol identifier macros for well-known
protocols. A conformant implementation of the RMON-2 MIB [RFC2021]
can be accomplished without the use of these protocol identifiers,
and accordingly, this document does not specify any IETF standard.
It is published to encourage better interoperability between RMON-2
agent implementations, by providing a great deal of RMON related
protocol information in one document.
The first version of the RMON Protocol Identifiers Document [RFC2074]
has been split into a standards-track Reference portion [RFC2895],
and an "RMON Protocol Identifier Macros", document (this document)
which contains the non-normative portion of that specification.

1. The SNMP Network Management Framework
The SNMP Management Framework presently consists of five major
components:
o An overall architecture, described in RFC 2571 [RFC2571].
o Mechanisms for describing and naming objects and events for the
purpose of management. The first version of this Structure of
Management Information (SMI) is called SMIv1 and described in
STD 16, RFC 1155 [RFC1155], STD 16, RFC 1212 [RFC1212] and RFC
1215 [RFC1215]. The second version, called SMIv2, is described
in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and
STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
o Message protocols for transferring management information. The
first version of the SNMP message protocol is called SNMPv1 and
described in STD 15, RFC 1157 [RFC1157]. A second version of the
SNMP message protocol, which is not an Internet standards track
protocol, is called SNMPv2c and described in RFC 1901 [RFC1901]
and RFC 1906 [RFC1906]. The third version of the message
protocol is called SNMPv3 and described in RFC 1906 [RFC1906],
RFC 2572 [RFC2572] and RFC 2574 [RFC2574].
o Protocol operations for accessing management information. The
first set of protocol operations and associated PDU formats is
