3. Todo List u Section 8.2 needs to be pared down to the right level of detail to be consistent with the rest of the doc [Done] u Section on capabilities [Done] u We need to look into section 9 further. It seems very sspm- oriented. [Nearly done] u Section on control tables [In Progress] u The diagram really needs more work. [In Progress] u Address whether we should add common usage examples and rename the doc to something like "Introduction to the RMON Family of MIBs". u Overall proofreading, etc.

7. Application Layer Metrics vs. Application-Layer Bucketization u Metric Layers –Application Performance Metric: Application Response Time –Data-Link Performance Metric FCS Errors u Application Layer Bucketization: –FCS Errors for HTTP Traffic vs. SAP/R3 traffic

8. Change to 2 tables? Metrics Data Link Network Transport Application Layer Layer Layer Layer RMON-1 X RMON-2 X TPM X APM X … Bucketization Data Link Network Transport Application Layer Layer Layer Layer RMON-1 X RMON-2 X X X TPM X XX APM X X X...

9. Scope and Title u Should we add: –Tips and techniques for problem solving with RMON –common usage examples –probe placement strategies u Should we change the title? –E.g., "Introduction to the RMON Family of MIBs".
