           REVISION    "200309190000Z"  -- September 19, 2003
           DESCRIPTION "Updated to include support for 10 Gb/sec
                        interfaces.  This resulted in the following
                        revisions:

                        - Updated dot3StatsAlignmentErrors and
                          dot3StatsSymbolErrors DESCRIPTIONs to
                          reflect behaviour at 10 Gb/s
                        - Added dot3StatsRateControlAbility and
                          dot3RateControlStatus for management
                          of the Rate Control function in 10 Gb/s
                          WAN applications
                        - Added 64-bit versions of all counters
                          that are used on high-speed ethernet
                          interfaces
                        - Added object groups to contain the new
                          objects
                        - Deprecated etherStatsBaseGroup and
                          split into etherStatsBaseGroup2 and
                          etherStatsHalfDuplexGroup, so that
                          interfaces which can only operate at
                          full-duplex do not need to implement
                          half-duplex-only statistics
                        - Deprecated dot3Compliance and replaced
                          it with dot3Compliance2, which includes
                          the compliance information for the new
                          object groups

                        In addition, the dot3Tests and dot3Errors
                        object identities have been deprecated,
                        since there is no longer a standard method
                        for using them.

                       which identifies the chipset used to
                       realize the interface. Ethernet-like
                       interfaces are typically built out of
                       several different chips. The MIB implementor
                       is presented with a decision of which chip
                       to identify via this object. The implementor
                       should identify the chip which is usually
                       called the Medium Access Control chip.
                       If no such chip is easily identifiable,
                       the implementor should identify the chip
                       which actually gathers the transmit
                       and receive statistics and error
                       indications. This would allow a
                       manager station to correlate the
                       statistics and the chip generating
                       them, giving it the ability to take
                       into account any known anomalies
                       in the chip.

                       This object has been deprecated.  Implementation
                       feedback indicates that it is of limited use for
                       debugging network problems in the field, and
                       the administrative overhead involved in
                       maintaining a registry of chipset OIDs is not
                       justified."

                       Management control of the duplex mode is
                       accomplished through the MAU MIB.  When
                       an interface does not support autonegotiation,
                       or when autonegotiation is not enabled, the
                       duplex mode is controlled using
                       ifMauDefaultType.  When autonegotiation is
                       supported and enabled, duplex mode is controlled
                       using ifMauAutoNegAdvertisedBits.  In either

                       objects are discouraged.  However, in this
                       instance, it allows a management application to
                       determine the duplex status of an interface
                       without having to know every possible value of
                       ifMauType.  This was felt to be sufficiently
                       valuable to justify the redundancy."
