Reassignment of Experimental MIBs to Standard
Status of this
This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol
Distribution of this memo is unlimited
In the past, MIBs have been assigned arcs in the experimental
namespace early in their development and then were not assigned
in the standard MIB namespace until they reached Full
status. This practice required vendors to revise
implementations when a MIB went from Draft to Full Standard status
even though there was probably no substantive technical change in
definitions. This practice could also engender operational
in the field at an undesirably late stage of the
process. It was also observed that this practice could
implementation until the Full Standard stage and that this, too
would be undesirable. So, a preferable practice is to assign arcs
the standard MIB namespace at the earliest phase of
and to preserve these assignments as the standard progresses

if you see any problems within the linking, don't worry be happy,
this is version 0.1 of the Relevance System and you gotta expect some crappy subroutines sometimes,
just be content we did not write this in Java, which would have made this "bigger and better" HAHAHHA.
RFC documents can be found at I.E.T.F.
