Introduction This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet community. In particular, it defines a method of describing Synthetic Sources for Performance Monitoring (SSPM). This is useful within the Remote Monitoring (RMON) framework [RFC3577] for performance monitoring in the cases where it is desirable to inject packets into the network for the purpose of monitoring their performance with the other MIBs in that framework. This memo also includes a MIB module. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 2. The Internet-Standard Management Framework For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of RFC 3410 [RFC3410]. Kalbfleisch, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 4149 SSPM-MIB August 2005 Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580]. 3. Overview This document defines a MIB module for the purpose of remotely controlling synthetic sources (or 'active' probes) and sinks in order to enhance remote performance monitoring capabilities within IPShow full document text
