Description of Working Group:



     The LAN Monitoring MIB working group is chartered to define an
     experimental MIB for monitoring LANs.
     The working group must first decide what it covers and what
     terminology to use.  The initial thought was to investigate the
     characteristics of some of the currently available products
     (Novell's LANtern, HP's LanProbe, and Network General's Watch
     Dog).  From this investigation MIB variables will be defined.
     In accomplishing our goals several areas will be addressed.
     These include:  identification of the objects to place in the
     MIB, identification of the tree structure and corresponding
     Object ID's for the MIB elements, generation of the ASN.1 for
     these new elements, and a test implementation.
