remote monitoring
<protocol> (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network
information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network
data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines
nine additional MIBs that provide a much richer set of data about network usage.
For RMON to work, network devices, such as hubs and switches, must be designed
to support it.
The newest version of RMON, RMON 2, provides data about traffic at the network
layer in addition to the physical layer. This allows administrators to analyse
traffic by protocol.
