Message Tracking MIB BOF (msgmib) Tuesday, December 9 at 1545-1645 ================================ Chair: Gordon B. Jones DESCRIPTION: Log: "Much work has been done in standards communities to define standards for managing messaging using the Internet Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs). Until this time, however, these standards have focused upon aggregates of messages processed by the messaging entity (e.g., the total number of messages received over a specific time interval), but have not addressed individual messages, their characteristics, or the path they have taken through the messaging network. Several companies have now implemented SNMP MIBs in accordance with an Internet draft standard for message tracking. The resulting MIB is useful for finding lost messages, but can also be used for accounting, security auditing, message loop detection, and per-message performance statistics".
