- Leigh,

- CMIP (CMOT on IP) is well described in the appropriate ISO documents and RFCs which
- can be found on the NIC (anonymous FTP to nic.ddn.mil). Although it may be considered
- a "beefed up" variation of SNMP, it has not been widly implemented, and has in fact
- been denounced by Internet-ers as trying to accomplish too much.
-
- My recommendation is to look more thuroughly at SMP (Marshall Rose's and Jeff Case's
- upgrade to SNMP) which solves a lot of SNMP's problems, like bulk data transfers and
- security issues. It still uses ASN.1 (yuk!), as do CMOT and CMIP.
