This paper describes the design of a system to support MIB computation at the networked devices." The concept of MbD is extended to compute external views of MIBs to transmit to the network manager. Since retrieval of data from the network devices results in inconsistent non-atomic data, there has been an attempt to perform MIB computation at the network devices itself. A View Definition Language (VDL) has been introduced to specify computations over MIBs. SNMP agent extensions that implement the MIB external views specified by the VDL are used to get atomic snapshots of the MIBs. This implementation can be used to filter MIB data, to join MIB tables and to detect attempts at intrusion
