The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems and plan for network growth.

we offer, such as layer 2 traceroute, use the data gathered by
SNMP
