Based on the transmission media underlying each interface on a system, the 
corresponding portion of the Transmission group is mandatory for that system.

When Internet-standard definitions for managing transmission media are defined, 
the transmission group is used to provide a prefix for the names of those objects. 

Typically, such definitions reside in the experimental portion of the MIB until they 
are "proven", then as a part of the Internet standardization process, the definitions 
are accordingly elevated and a new object identifier, under the transmission group 
is defined. By convention, the name assigned is:

type OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { transmission number }.

Where "type" is the symbolic value used for the media in the ifType column of the 
ifTable object, and "number" is the actual integer value corresponding to the 
symbol.

Implementation of the SNMP group is mandatory for all systems which support an 
SNMP protocol entity. Some of the objects defined below will be zero-valued in 
those SNMP implementations that are optimized to support only those functions 
specific to either a management agent or a management station. In particular, it 
should be observed that the objects below refer to an SNMP entity, and there may 
be several SNMP entities residing on a managed Node.

The total number of messages delivered to the SNMP entity from the transport 
service.
