SNMP
SNMP is the protocol used to communicate between manager and
agent. Managers request information, usually through automated
polling at specified intervals, and agents respond. Though used
primarily on TCP/IP networks, SNMP can be implemented on other
protocols, for example, IPX.
SNMP is a standard by which a network manager can get statistics
