A network management system provides information on performance, inventory, and traffic by using protocols like SNMP to monitor network equipment, computers, and devices. It is made up of hardware and software to administer a network. Individual network elements are managed by element management systems. MIB definitions describe managed objects and are used by SNMP, but creating a MIB can be complicated. Network management systems also help large companies like UPS manage the global flow of goods, funds, and information across many countries.
