On the 7th and 8th of September the "Simple
Network Management Protocol" (SNMP, RFC1067) was successfully tested for
interoperability by multiple vendors with multiple implementations.

Additionally, the
Structure of Management Information (SMI, RFC1065) and the Management
information Base (MIB, RFC-1066) were rigoursly (and successfully) tested for
interoperability.

Users can now be confident that both Network Management Stations (NMS) and
the imbedded agent/servers in terminal-servers, gateways, hosts, etc will
uniformly interoperate.

This SNMP "Connectathon" was held at NYSERNet's headquarters in Troy, NY.
