Introduction to the simple gateway monitoring protocol

Abstract
The simple gateway monitoring protocol (SGMP) is a simple application-layer protocol that allows logically remote users to inspect or alter management information for a gateway. In the internet context, gateway performs the functions of the classical packet switch. A description is given of the SGMP, its architecture, some of its uses and applications, the author's implementation experience, and some future directions for its development. The design philosophy leading to the SGMP is discussed.<>
