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 physicallayer. This allows administrators to analyse traffic by
protocol.
