This is most likely a wrong perception. There are basically only two
locations where SNMP modules are registered in the IETF: under mib-2
and under transmission (yes there are a few exceptions but overall in
number they do not matter). There are close to 240 MIB modules below
mib-2 and about 50 MIB modules below transmission.
RFC 4181:
- The value assigned to the MODULE-IDENTITY descriptor MUST be unique
and (for IETF standards-track MIB modules) SHOULD reside under the
mgmt subtree [RFC2578]. Most often it will be an IANA-assigned
value directly under mib-2 [RFC2578], although for media-specific
MIB modules that extend the IF-MIB [RFC2863] it is customary to use
an IANA-assigned value under transmission [RFC2578]. In the past,
some IETF working groups have made their own assignments from
subtrees delegated to them by IANA, but that practice has proven
problematic and is NOT RECOMMENDED.
