- Description of Working Group:
-
- Today there exist a variety of network management tools for
- the collection and presentation of network statistical data.
- Different kinds of measurements and presentation techniques
- makes it hard to compare data between networks. There exists a
- need to compare these statistical data on a uniform basis to
- facilitate cooperative management, ease problem isolation and
- network planning.
-
- The Working Group will try to define a model for network
- statistics, a minimal set of common metrics, tools for
- gathering statistical data, a common statistical database
- storage format and common presentation formats. Collecting
- tools will store data in a given format later to be retrieved
- by presentation tools displaying the data in a predefined way.
-
-

-
- Done Approve paper Opstat1 for submission as RFC; decide
- standards-track or Informational?
-
- Done Define a new collection of tools based on defined metrics, defined
- storage formats and defined presentation formats.
-
- Done Propose old tools to be retrofitted.
-
- Done Develop outline and make writing assignments for paper (Opstat2) on
- new tools and retrofitted tools.
-
- Sep 92 Submit Internet Draft of new and retrofitted tools.
-

- RFC.
-
