Abstract:

   The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Graphics
   Processing Unit (GPU) infrastructure within telecommunications
   networks has exposed a fundamental gap in existing network management
   frameworks.  The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the de
   facto standard for network element monitoring since RFC 1157 (1990),
   provides no native support for monitoring AI accelerators, GPU
   clusters, high-bandwidth interconnects such as NVLink and InfiniBand,
   or AI workload telemetry.  This document proposes AI-MIB: a
   Management Information Base extension that defines a standardised
   Object Identifier (OID) tree for AI infrastructure management within
   the SNMP framework.  AI-MIB is designed to operate alongside existing
   Operations Support Systems and Business Support Systems (OSS/BSS) in
   telecommunications environments, preserving backward compatibility
   with SNMPv3 while extending the framework's scope to cover GPU
   health, accelerator interconnect metrics, AI workload performance
   indicators, and energy consumption.  This document also outlines two
   future extensions: a subscription-based streaming capability for
   SNMPv3 (informally designated SNMPv3+), and a schema-mapping
   specification for a SNMP-gNMI Translation Gateway that bridges SNMP/
   MIB and gNMI/YANG data models.
