                  Traffic Flow Measurement:  Meter MIB

Status of this Memo

   This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
   community.  This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any
   kind.  Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
   Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

   This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
   for use with network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets.
   In particular, this memo defines managed objects used for obtaining
   traffic flow information from network traffic meters.

1 The Network Management Framework

   The Internet-standard Network Management Framework consists of three
   components.  They are:

      RFC 1155 defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for describing and
      naming objects for the purpose of management.  STD 16, RFC 1212
      defines a more concise description mechanism, which is wholly
      consistent with the SMI.
