RMON

<p>The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) <a href="/facts/Management_Information_Base/TkmY9uqy">MIB</a> was developed by the <a href="/facts/Internet_Engineering_Task_Force/tIcCsFhX">IETF</a> to support monitoring and protocol analysis of <a href="/facts/Local_area_network/edUDxJ6J">local area networks</a> (LANs). The original version (sometimes referred to as RMON1) focused on <a href="/facts/Physical_layer/WuATCrVw">OSI layer 1</a> and <a href="/facts/Data_link_layer/K9yPufbt">layer 2</a> information in Ethernet and Token Ring networks. It has been extended by RMON2 which adds support for <a href="/facts/Network_Layer/L2jAtJzQ">Network-</a> and <a href="/facts/Application_Layer/FAFhLruA">Application-layer</a> monitoring and by <a href="/facts/Network_switch/CnvmhNYT">SMON</a> which adds support for switched networks. It is an industry-standard specification that provides much of the functionality offered by proprietary network analyzers. RMON agents are built into many high-end switches and routers.
