Abstract :
A model is described for managing stand-alone network measurement devices distributed over an interconnected network (i.e. a network of networks, or internet). A host anywhere on the internet can act as a controlling device that manages a scattered set of measurement monitors. A protocol based on this model and the service it provides are discussed. The protocol fits in the application layer of the OSI model.<>
