SMUX

SMUX is a protocol that defines how certain daemons (SMUX peers) provide information about and carry out control requests on devices on a network. The SMUX peers communicate with a process called an SNMP agent (Simple Network Management Protocol agent). This agent acts as the central processing point on a single host for queries and commands sent from a network management station. Network administrators use these network management stations to monitor the status of devices anywhere on the network, and to issue commands that affect the operation or status of those devices.
