1. Introduction
This document defines a portion of the Management Information Base
(MIB) for use with network management protocols in the Internet
community. In particular, this specifies objects for managing
virtual machines controlled by a hypervisor (a.k.a. virtual machine
monitor). A hypervisor controls multiple virtual machines on a
single physical machine by allocating resources to each virtual
machine using virtualization technologies. Therefore, this MIB
module contains information on virtual machines and their resources
controlled by a hypervisor as well as information about a
hypervisor's hardware and software.

RFC 7666 Virtual Machine Monitoring MIB October 2015
The design of this MIB module has been derived from product-specific
MIB modules -- namely, a MIB module for managing guests of the Xen
hypervisor [Xen], a MIB module for managing virtual machines
controlled by the VMware hypervisor [VMware], and a MIB module using
