An Overview of the IETF Network Management Standards
Abstract
This document gives an overview of the IETF network management
standards and summarizes existing and ongoing development of IETF
Standards Track network management protocols and data models. The
document refers to other overview documents, where they exist and
classifies the standards for easy orientation. The purpose of this
document is, on the one hand, to help system developers and users to
select appropriate standard management protocols and data models to
address relevant management needs. On the other hand, the document
can be used as an overview and guideline by other Standard
Development Organizations or bodies planning to use IETF management
technologies and data models. This document does not cover
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) technologies on the
data-path, e.g., OAM of tunnels, MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
OAM, and pseudowire as well as the corresponding management models.
