1. Introduction
The softwire mesh framework [RFC5565] is a tunneling mechanism that
enables connectivity between islands of IPv4 networks across a single
IPv6 backbone and vice versa. In a softwire mesh, extended
Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) is used to set up tunnels and advertise
prefixes among Address Family Border Routers (AFBRs).
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it defines objects for managing a softwire mesh
[RFC5565].
2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
