Technical Summary
 
  This memo defines a Management Information Base (MIB) module for use
  with network management protocols in the Internet community.  In
  particular, it defines managed objects for the Forwarding and Control
  Element Separation (ForCES) Network Element (NE). 
 
Working Group Summary
 
  This is the MIB that goes with the Forces Protocol (see 
  draft-ietf-forces-protocol). This document was produced very 
  smoothly in the Forces WG. There were some discussions on the 
  mailing list but no conflicts (see PROTO writeup in the ID
  Tracker).
 
Protocol Quality
 
  There are at least 4 different implementations of the
  ForCES protocol. One university indicated that they are
  also working on the implementation of the MIB. The MIB 
  has had Gen-Art and Sec-Dir reviews, as well as MIB-Dr
  reviews by John Flick and Bert Wijnen.
