- Then you realise all these evolutions were only simple with regard to their
- name: complexity was added in each evolution cycle as is definitely the case
- with the SGMP -> SNMP -> SMP transition.
-
- So you start from CMIP which is where you are aiming at even if you don't want
- to admit and add complexity accordingly:
-
- CMIP (complex management information protocol)
- (O)CMIP ((overly) complex management information protocol)
- ...
