No, its from IETF.  Look on the net for RFC1315.

Look in the config.html file for LoadMibs

MIB = Managment Infomation Base.  Its a database of information built in a
tree format.  MIB files are usually text files of specific sections of the
tree. 

OID = Object IDentifier.  Its the numerical id of a specific point or node
in the tree.

Each target gets its own page with daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs.
Use indexmaker.pl (in mrtg\run) to build a page to reach all of these from.
