> Technical Summary
>
>   The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely deployed to
>   monitor, control and (sometimes also) configure network elements.
>   Even though the SNMP technology is well documented, it remains
>   relatively unclear how SNMP is used in practice and what typical SNMP
>   usage patterns are.
>
>   This document proposes to carry out large scale SNMP traffic
>   measurements in order to develop a better understanding how SNMP is
>   used in real world production networks.  It describes the motivation,
>   the measurement approach, and the tools and data formats needed to
>   carry out such a study.

> IESG Note
>
> The IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in the
> Operations and Management Area related to SNMP, but this does not prevent
> publishing. This RFC is not a candidate for any level of Internet
> Standard.
>
> The IETF disclaims any knowledge of the fitness of this RFC for
> any purpose and notes that the decision to publish is not based on
> IETF review apart from the IETF Last Call on the allocation of an URI by
> IANA and the IESG review for conflict with IETF work.
> The RFC Editor has chosen to publish this document at its
> discretion.  See RFC 3932 for more information.
