Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the third
version of the Internet-standard Management Framework, termed the
SNMP version 3 Framework (SNMPv3). This Framework is derived from
and builds upon both the original Internet-standard Management
Framework (SNMPv1) and the second Internet-standard Management
Framework (SNMPv2).
The architecture is designed to be modular to allow the evolution of
the Framework over time.
