The Address Translation Group

59047-10  D

Implementation of the Address Translation group is mandatory for all systems. 
However, this group is deprecated by MIB-II. That is, it is being included solely for 
compatibility with MIB-I Nodes, and will most likely be excluded from MIB-III 
Nodes. From MIB-II and onwards, each network protocol group contains its own 
address translation tables.

The Address Translation group contains one table which is the union across all 
interfaces of the translation tables for converting a NetworkAddress (for example, 
an IP address) into a subnetwork-specific address. For lack of a better term, this 
document refers to such a subnetwork-specific address as a `physical' address.

Examples of such translation tables are for: broadcast media where ARP is in use, 
the translation table is equivalent to the ARP cache, or on an X.25 network where 
non-algorithmic translation to X.121 addresses is required. The translation table 
contains the NetworkAddress to X.121 address equivalences.

The interface on which this entry's equivalence is effective. The interface 
identified by a particular value of this index is the same interface as identified by 
the same value of ifIndex.
