This memo defines Management Information Bases (MIBs) for performing ping,
traceroute and lookup operations at a 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 resolution of either an IP address to an DNS
name or a DNS name to an IP address at a remote host. 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 interoperability.
