HEMS Monitoring and Control LanguageThis RFC specifies the design of a general-purpose, yet efficient, monitoring and control language for managing network entities.The data in the entity is modeled as a hierarchy and specific items are named by giving the path from the root of the tree.Most items are read-only, but some can be "set" in order to perform control operations.Both requests and responses are represented using the ISO ASN.1 data encoding rules. STATUS OF THIS MEMOThe purpose of this RFC is provide a specification for monitoring and control of network entities in the Internet.This is an experimental specification and is intended for use in testing the ideas presented here.No proposals in this memo are intended as standards for the Internet at this time.After sufficient experimentation and discussion, this RFC will be redrafted, perhaps as a standard.Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
