The Opstat Client-Server Model for Statistics Retrieval
RFC 1856, “The Opstat Client-Server Model for Statistics Retrieval”, is an Informational document published in September 1995 by H. Clark. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Network administrators gather data related to the performance, utilization, usability and growth of their data network. The amount of raw data gathered is usually quite large, typically ranging somewhere between several megabytes to several gigabytes of data each month. Few (if any) tools exist today for the sharing of that raw data among network operators or between a network service provider (NSP) and its customers. This document defines a model and protocol for a set of tools which could be used by NSPs and Network Operation Centers (NOCs) to share data among themselves and with customers.
