Application for IANA IfType

Please complete the following application to register an IANA IfType.

The IANA IfType-MIB was originally defined in RFC1573 as a separate MIB module together with the IF-MIB. The IF-MIB has been updated and is currently specified in RFC2863, but this latest IF-MIB RFC no longer contains the IANA IfType-MIB. Instead, the IANA IfType-MIB is now maintained as a separate module at the IANA.

For further information regarding the use of IANA IfTypes please see the IF-MIB document, currently

RFC 2863 - The Interfaces Group MIB

For the current IANA IfType registries please see the following:

Please note that you should include answers to the following questions in your explanation of the proposed use of the IANA IfType:

How would IP run over your ifType ?
Would there be another interface sublayer between your ifType and IP ?
Would your ifType be vendor-specific or proprietary? (If so, the label should start with a string that shows that. For example, if your company's name or acronym is xxx, then the ifType label would be something like xxxSomeIfTypeLabel.)
