Re: Updating a published MIB

You will find a three page description of what you can and cannot do in
RFC4181 pp.28-31. This refers back to RFC2578 which is the authoritative
statement of what can and cannot be done.  And then there is the
[email protected]
mailing list which is where most of those with expertise in MIB modules
lurk.

No, it is not obvious:-(

Hi!

The SIP MIB in RFC 4780 contains a SipTCTransportProtocol entry. The
SIPcore group is about to add another transport (websockets), which
means that we will have to update RFC 4780 with a new bit for websocket
transports.

I've asked around and it seems to be a lack of information about the
process of updating a published MIB. The IANA is not involved. And
reading the wiki entry on OPS and MIB doctors seems to contain a lot of
information about *new* MIBs but nothing on updates.

So my question is what the process is for changing parameters or adding
new OIDs.

Thanks for your response! Apologies if I did miss something obvious.
