RMON
Remote Monitor (RMON) is a tool for remotely monitoring the functioning of networks
RMON is a standard MIB that defines current and historical MAC-layer statistics and control objects
RMON allows the capturing of real-time information across the entire network
RMON standard is the SNMP MIB definition described in RFC-1757 (February, 1995) for Ethernet
RMON 2 continues the architecture defined in RMON providing a major upgrade and monitoring up to the application level, defined in RFC-2021 (January, 1997)
The managed device has an RMON agent that communicates with the network management application via SNMP
RMON agent is typically included in LAN switches and routers
