The IPv6-Specific MIB Modules Are Obsolete

Overview

RFC 8096, “The IPv6-Specific MIB Modules Are Obsolete”, is an Informational document published in April 2017 by B. Fenner. It obsoletes RFC 2452, RFC 2454, RFC 2465, RFC 2466. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

In 2005-2006, the IPv6 MIB update group published updated versions of the IP-MIB, UDP-MIB, TCP-MIB, and IP-FORWARD-MIB modules, which use the InetAddressType/InetAddress construct to handle IPv4 and IPv6 in the same table. This document contains versions of the obsoleted IPV6-MIB, IPV6-TC, IPV6-ICMP-MIB, IPV6-TCP-MIB, and IPV6-UDP-MIB modules for the purpose of updating MIB module repositories. This document obsoletes RFCs 2452, 2454, 2465, and 2466 (i.e., the RFCs containing these MIBs) and reclassifies them as Historic.
