DESCRIPTION
|
||||
"A MIB module containing textual conventions
|
||||
for high capacity data types. This module
|
||||
addresses an immediate need for data types not directly
|
||||
supported in the SMIv2. This short-term solution
|
||||
is meant to be deprecated as a long-term solution
|
||||
is deployed."

||||
REVISION "200006080000Z"

DESCRIPTION
|
||||
"Initial Version of the High Capacity Numbers
|
||||
MIB module, published as RFC 2856."

|
||||
|
||||
CounterBasedGauge64 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
|
||||
STATUS current
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
"The CounterBasedGauge64 type represents a non-negative
|
||||
integer, which may increase or decrease, but shall never
|
||||
exceed a maximum value, nor fall below a minimum value. The
|
||||
maximum value can not be greater than 2^64-1
|
||||
(18446744073709551615 decimal), and the minimum value can
|
||||
|
||||
not be smaller than 0. The value of a CounterBasedGauge64
|
||||
has its maximum value whenever the information being modeled
|
||||
is greater than or equal to its maximum value, and has its
|
||||
minimum value whenever the information being modeled is
|
||||
smaller than or equal to its minimum value. If the
|
||||
information being modeled subsequently decreases below
|
||||
(increases above) the maximum (minimum) value, the
|
||||
CounterBasedGauge64 also decreases (increases).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this TC is not strictly supported in SMIv2,
|
||||
because the 'always increasing' and 'counter wrap' semantics
|
||||
associated with the Counter64 base type are not preserved.
|
||||
It is possible that management applications which rely
|
||||
solely upon the (Counter64) ASN.1 tag to determine object
|
||||
semantics will mistakenly operate upon objects of this type
|
||||
as they would for Counter64 objects.
|
||||
|
||||
This textual convention represents a limited and short-term
|
||||
solution, and may be deprecated as a long term solution is
|
||||
defined and deployed to replace it."

ZeroBasedCounter64 ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
|
||||
STATUS current
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
"This TC describes an object which counts events with the
|
||||
following semantics: objects of this type will be set to
|
||||
zero(0) on creation and will thereafter count appropriate
|
||||
events, wrapping back to zero(0) when the value 2^64 is
|
||||
reached.
|
||||
|
||||
Provided that an application discovers the new object within
|
||||
the minimum time to wrap it can use the initial value as a
|
||||
delta since it last polled the table of which this object is
|
||||
part. It is important for a management station to be aware
|
||||
of this minimum time and the actual time between polls, and
|
||||
to discard data if the actual time is too long or there is
|
||||
no defined minimum time.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically this TC is used in tables where the INDEX space is
|
||||
constantly changing and/or the TimeFilter mechanism is in
|
||||
use.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this textual convention does not retain all the
|
||||
semantics of the Counter64 base type. Specifically, a
|
||||
Counter64 has an arbitrary initial value, but objects
|
||||
defined with this TC are required to start at the value
|
||||
|
||||
zero. This behavior is not likely to have any adverse
|
||||
effects on management applications which are expecting
|
||||
Counter64 semantics.
|
||||
|
||||
This textual convention represents a limited and short-term
|
||||
solution, and may be deprecated as a long term solution is
|
||||
defined and deployed to replace it."
