SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol
I hadn't realised how widespread this had become as a protocol used by applications all over the IT industry. Recently found working with SAP and Redwood tools that they all rely heavily on this protocol.
As it's so critical what body oversees it's integrity?
Turns out it's
"..a component of the Internet Protocol Suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects."- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol
I highly recommend to those in the industy a quick visit to the IETF site to stay abreast of what's going on. Currently their next big meeting is in Taipei, Taiwan in November.
