1. The Network Management Framework
The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
components. They are:
STD 16/RFC 1155 [3] which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management. STD
16/RFC 1212 [13] defines a more concise description mechanism,
which is wholly consistent with the SMI.
