This memo reports an interesting family of algorithms for bulk table
retrieval using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This
memo describes an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community,
and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. This memo
does not specify a standard for the Internet community. Please refer
to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol Standards" for
the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC). Login
with FTP, username "anonymous" and password "guest".
The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the
subject field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".
RFCs can also be obtained via FTP from NIS.NSF.NET. Using FTP, login
with username "anonymous" and password "guest"; then connect to the RFC
directory ("cd RFC"). The file name is of the form RFCnnnn.TXT-1
(where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).
The NIS also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP. Address the request to NIS-INFO@NIS.NSF.NET and leave
the subject field of the message blank. The first line of the text of
the message must be "SEND RFCnnnn.TXT-1", where nnnn is replaced by
the RFC number.
Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
author of the RFC in question, or to NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL. Unless
