The draft was published as draft-ietf-opstat-client-server-03.txt. A last call was issued on the OPSTAT mailing list three weeks ago: the meeting attendees agreed that the draft should be published as an Information RFC. SNMP User's Guide This document was intended to contain general recommendations and experiences about how SNMP and the specific MIB variables can be used to manage a network. Although various people have offered to contribute material, only one item has come to hand so far. With such a low level of demonstrated support, the group decided to abandon this project. Other Business Nevil Brownlee reported that a draft paper on modelling fractal network traffic is now available (in PostScript) for comment from: ftp://ftp.stat.auckland.ac.nz/research/alexander/paper.ps With the publication of the above two RFCs the working group has completed its charter activities. The group has therefore completed its activities and will close down. However, the OPSTAT mailing list will continue.
