Address Translation Group/Table
Implementation of the Address Translation group is mandatory for all systems.
Note however that this group is deprecated by MIB-II. That is, it is being included
solely for compatibility with MIB-I nodes, and will most likely be excluded from
MIB-III nodes. From MIB-II and onwards, each network protocol group contains
its own address translation tables.
The Address Translation group contains one table, which is the union across all
interfaces of the translation tables for converting a NetworkAddress (for example,
an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific address. For lack of a better term, this
document refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a `physical' address.
Examples of such translation tables are: for broadcast media where ARP is in use,
the translation table is equivalent to the ARP cache; or, on an X.25 network where
non-algorithmic translation to X.121 addresses is required, the translation table
contains the NetworkAddress to X.121 address equivalences.
ifOutErrors Counter R The number of outbound packets that
could not be transmitted because of
errors.
ifOutQLen Gauge R The length of the output packet queue (in
packets).
ifSpecific OBJECT IDENTIFIER R A reference to MIB definitions specific to
the particular media being used to realize
the interface. For example, if the interface
is realized by an Ethernet, the value of this
object refers to a document defining
objects specific to Ethernet. If this
information is not present, its value should
be set to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER { 0 0 },
which is a syntactically valid object
identifier, and any conforming
implementation of ASN.1 and BER must
be able to generate and recognize this
value.
