networking (CMIS) Part of the
OSI body of network
standards.
Network management information services are used by peer processes to exchange information and commands for the purpose of
network management. CMIS defines a message set (GET, CANCEL-GET, SET, CREATE, DELETE, EVENT-REPORT and ACTION), and the structure and content of the messages such that they might be used by "open" systems. In concept, it is similar to
SNMP, but more powerful (and hence more complex).
