Remote Network Monitoring (RMON)

Explanation:

The information gathered by a probe, analyzed locally, and transmitted to a remote network management, is called Remote Network Monitoring (RMON).

The Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) was developed in the early 1990s by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which comprises of operators, network designers, researchers and vendors, saddled with the responsibility of designing, developing and promoting internet standards. It is a standardized method for monitoring, analyzing and troubleshooting network traffic on a remote ethernet transport (typically, through its port) to find network connection issues such as network collisions, dropped packets, and traffic congestion. A Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) is an extension of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) used to gather and manage informations or data about network systems performance.

In order to remotely monitor and gather informations about networks, a RMON probe which can either be a software or hardware is embedded into a network device with a Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) such as a switch or router.

Basically, there are two (2) main versions of the Remote Network Monitoring (RMON);

1. RMON 1.

2. RMON 2.
