Abstract
This memo defines a standards track portion of the Management
Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in
the Internet Community. In particular, it defines objects used for
the management of applications. This MIB complements the System
Application MIB, providing for the management of applications' common
attributes which could not typically be observed without the
cooperation of the software being managed.
