Below are corrections and a few additions to the table. I could
probably add more entries, but it would take more time.
If IANA keep records of their submissions, then those records will
contain references for at least the more recent assignments.
Keith.
------------------------
0. Many ifType values do not have corresponding MIB modules or "MIB
OIDs".
Even when they do, the document containing such a MIB module should be
listed as a Reference.
1. The reference for both regular1822(2) and hdh1822(3) is:
"Specifications for the Interconnection of a Host and an IMP",
Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) Report No. 1822, December 1981.
also known as: NIC 7958, and referenced by RFCs 270, 716, 878.
2. The reference for ddnX25(4) and rfc877x25(5) is RFC 1382, which says:
-- ifType: ddn-x25 or rfc877-x25
-- an interface of type ddn-x25 will use an algorithm to
-- translate between X.121 address and IP addresses.
-- An interface of type rfc877-x25 will use a
-- configuration table to translate between X.121
-- addresses and IP addresses.
3. The reference for iso88024-tokenBus(8) is RFC 1230.
4. The reference for sdlc(17) is RFC 1747.
5. RFC 1694 is a later (than RFC 1304) reference for 'sip(31)', and RFC
2325 is needed as a reference if "coffee" is included in the row.
I suggest it would be useful to expand the acronym to be: SIP (SMDS
Interface Protocol), but perhaps that negates the reference to "coffee"
??
6. RFC 3592 is the reference for:
sonet(39) -- SONET/SDH Medium/Section/Line
sonetPath(50) -- SONET/SDH Path
sonetVT(51) -- SONET/SDH Virtual Tributary/Virtual
Container
7. The row for ifType=45 is incorrect. RFC 1659 says:
The RS-232-like MIB is relevant for ifType values rs232(33), v35(45),
and perhaps others.
8. The row for ifType=46 is incorrect. RFC 2320 is not a reference for
'hssi'; the closest to a reference I can find for HSSI is RFC 1662.
9. The row for ifType=49 is incorrect. RFC 2515 is the reference for
both
of:
atm(37) -- ATM cell layer
aal5(49) -- ATM AAL5 layer
10. The row for ifType=53 is incorrect. The SMON-MIB refers to that
ifType value, but it is not the reference for it; specifically, RFC 2613
says:
The SMON MIB utilizes the propVirtual(53) ifType defined in the
Interfaces Group MIB [22] to provide SMON and RMON with new
dataSources such as VLANs and internal monitoring points.
and RFC 2515 specifies the use of propVirtual(53) "for proprietary
virtual, internal interface[s] associated with [ATM] AAL entities".
So, other uses of propVirtual(53) have been explicitly specified. Also,
other ifType values have since been defined for standards-based VLANs.
11. The reference for ieee80212(55) is RFC 2020, containing the
DOT12-IF-MIB.
12. RFC 2127 is the reference for:
The ifType for a Terminal Endpoint can be isdn(63) for ISDN signaling
channels or x25ple(40) for X.25 based packet mode services. The
ifType for D channel Data Link Layer (LAPD) interfaces is lapd(77).
The ifType for B channels is ds0(81). The ifType for physical
interfaces is the matching IANA ifType, usually ds1(18) for Primary
Rate interfaces or isdns(75)/isdnu(76) for Basic Rate interfaces.
isdn(63) -- ISDN Terminal endpoint (ISDN signaling
channel)
isdns(75) -- ISDN 'S/T' (aka 'Four-wire Basic Access
Interface')
isdnu(76) -- ISDN 'U' (aka 'Two-wire Basic Access
Interface')
lapd(77) -- ISDN D channel Data Link Layer (LAPD)
13. The rows for ifType values, basicISDN(20) and primaryISDN(21) are
incorrect. These ifType values are (implicitly) obsoleted by RFC 2127,
because it says:
... The ifType for physical
interfaces is the matching IANA ifType, usually ds1(18) for Primary
Rate interfaces or isdns(75)/isdnu(76) for Basic Rate interfaces.
14. RFCs 1382 and 2127 are references for:
x25ple(40) -- X.25 Packet Level Entity
15. Both RFCs 2494 and 2127 are references for:
ds0(81) -- Digital Signal Level 0
16. The references for ip(126) are RFCs 2353, 2455 and 2584.
17. RFC 2662 is the reference for each of these:
adsl(94) -- Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Loop
adslInterleave(124) -- ADSL Interleaved Channel
adslFast(125) -- ADSL Fast Channel
RFC 3440 is another reference for adsl(94).
RFC 3728 is another reference for adslInterleave(124) and adslFast(125).
18. It is unnecessarily premature to list an I-D for
docsCableMaclayer(127).
Instead, RFC 2670 is the reference for:
docsCableMaclayer(127) -- CATV MAC Layer
docsCableDownstream(128) -- CATV Downstream interface
docsCableUpstream(129) -- CATV Upstream interface
19. The reference for:
aflane8023(59) -- ATM Emulated LAN for 802.3
aflane8025(60) -- ATM Emulated LAN for 802.5
is:
"LAN Emulation Over ATM, Version 1.0", af-lane0021.000,
ATM Forum, Jan 1995.
20. RFC 3020 is the reference for:
frf16MfrBundle(163) -- FRF .16 Multilink Frame Relay
21. RFC 3201 is the reference for:
frDlciEndPt(193) -- Frame Relay DLCI End Point
atmVciEndPt(194) -- ATM VCI End Point
22. RFC 4319 is the reference for:
hdsl2(168) -- High Bit-Rate DSL, 2nd generation
shdsl(169) -- Multirate HDSL2
23. RFCs 1990 and 3371 are partial references for:
pppMultilinkBundle(108) -- PPP Multilink Bundle
24. RFC 3591 is the reference for:
opticalChannel(195) -- Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical
Channel
opticalTransport(196) -- Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical
-- Transmission Section/Optical Multiplex
Section
opticalChannelGroup(219) -- Optical Transport Network (OTN) Optical
-- Channel Group
25. RFC 3606 is the reference for:
atmLogical(80) -- ATM Logical Port
26. RFC 3635 specifies that fastEther(62), fastEtherFX(69) and
gigabitEthernet(117) are obsolete.
27. RFC 3812 is a reference for mpls(166) and mplsTunnel(150).
RFCs 3811 and 3813 are also references for mpls(166).
28. RFCs 3728, 4069 and 4070 are references for vdsl(97).
29. RFC 4044 is the reference for fcipLink(224).
30. The row for ifType=230 is incorrect. The reference for adsl2(230)
is draft-ietf-adslmib-adsl2-07.txt
31. The rows for these ifType values have the wrong reference (I don't
know the correct reference):
47, 95, 146, 228, 229
32. The reference for ocsCableUpstreamChannel(205) is
draft-ietf-ipcdn-docs-rfmibv2-14.txt
33. Presumably, RFC 1483 is the reference for:
rfc1483(159) -- Multiprotocol over ATM AAL5
34. The row for ifType=48 is incorrect. RFC 4319 is not for a "generic
modem".
25. RFC 2320 is a reference for ipOverAtm(114).
