Hi folks,                                       Wednesday (4 March 1998)

In response to Ron Bergman's recent request that people post concrete
ideas about SNMP trap registration mechanisms, I just posted the text of
a work-in-progress MIB written by Joe Filion (Xerox) and Ira McDonald
(High North) to the PWG FTP server in:

SYNOPSIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document specifies the Job Async Monitoring (JAM) MIB,
an individual contribution to the Job Monitoring Project (JMP) of the
Printer Working Group (PWG), a work-in-progress MIB module for the
entire printer industry, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

The JAM MIB specifies a lightweight SNMP trap registration mechanism
for end-user clients, management stations, and management proxies.  This
SNMP trap registration mechanism is SNMP protocol version independent.
This SNMP trap registration mechanism is security scheme independent.

The JAM MIB is a companion to the PWG Job Monitoring MIB
and the IETF/PWG Printer MIB (published separately).

The JAM MIB is UNENCUMBERED by any patents pending or granted or other
intellectual property considerations.
