+
+Status of This Memo
+
+   This memo describes an experimental method by which the Simple
+   Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as specified in [1] can be used
+   over Ethernet MAC layer framing [2] instead of the Internet UDP/IP
+   protocol stack.  This specification is useful for LAN based network
+   elements that support no higher layer protocols beyond the MAC sub-
+   layer.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+Overview and Rational
+
+   SNMP has been successful in managing Internet capable network
+   elements which support the protocol stack at least through UDP the
+   connectionless Internet transport layer protocol.  As originally
+   designed, SNMP is capable of running over any reasonable transport
+   mechanism (not necessarily a transport protocol) that supports bi-
+   directional flow and addressability.
+
+   Many non-Internet capable network elements are present in local
+   networks; for example, repeaters and wiring concentrators.  They
+   include both addressability, and programmable intelligence.  These
+   devices are widely used and increasingly important yet, for the most
+   part, invisible except through proprietary mechanisms.
+
+Specification
+
+   Almost all Internet capable network elements use the same mechanism
+   for encapsulation of the Internet protocol stack regardless of
+   conformity with the physical characteristics of Ethernet or 802.3,
+   this mechanism is specified in [3] and [4].  This specification
+   continues that style with the assignment (by XEROX) of 33100
+   (hexadecimal 814C) to the Ethernet Type field for SNMP.  The data
+   portion of the Ethernet frame would then be a standard SNMP message
+   as specified in [1].
