Description: The public Ethernet access software supports a number of standard and proprietary MIBs. This MIB module defines objects for reading/writing common Ethernet information.

In cases where the network element is overloaded with traffic, it must be ensured that the high priority packets are always processed first. This is done using an overload protection mechanism that is always active. The downstream traffic from the aggregate uplink Ethernet will be processed according to priority. The overload protection is only in use if there is more than one packet waiting to be processed. There are a number of receive priorities in the network element downstream overload protection. This MIB can be used to configure the mapping between VLAN priority of downstream packets and the receive priority in the network element. Statistics for the receive priorities can also be read with this MIB.
