There are a wide range of networked applications for which it is
appropriate to provide SNMP Monitoring.  This includes both TCP/IP and
OSI applications.  This document defines a MIB which contains the
elements common to the monitoring of any network service application.
This information includes a table of all monitorable network service
applications, a count of the associations (connections) to each
application, and basic information about the parameters and status of
each application-related association.  This RFC is a product of the
Mail and Directory Management Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
