The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Definitions of Managed Objects for Remote Ping, Traceroute, and Lookup Operations' <draft-ietf-disman-remops-mib-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Distributed Management Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Randy Bush. Technical Summary Currently, there are several enterprise-specific MIBs for performing remote ping or traceroute operations. The purpose of this memo is to define a standards-based solution to enable interoperibility. This memo defines Management Information Bases (MIBs) for performing remote ping, traceroute and lookup operations at a remote host. When managing a network it is useful to be able to initiate and retrieve the results of ping or traceroute operations when performed at a remote host. A Lookup capability is defined in order to enable resolving of either an IP address to an DNS name or an DNS name to an IP address at a remote host. Working Group Summary The WG has had quite a set of debates about these documents. But this final revision of the document has consensus of the WG. Protocol Quality This memo has been reviewed for the IESG by Bert Wijnen and David Partain.
