Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58, RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580 [RFC2580].
The RMON2 MIB defines objects that provide RMON analysis up to the application layer.
Remote network monitoring devices, often called monitors or probes, are instruments that exist for the purpose of managing a network. Often, these remote probes are stand-alone devices and devote significant internal resources for the sole purpose of managing a network. An organization may employ many of these devices, one per
network segment, to manage its internet. In addition, these devices may be used for a network management service provider to access a client network, which is often geographically remote.
The objects defined in this document are intended to serve as an interface between an RMON agent and an RMON management application and are not intended for direct manipulation by humans. While some users may tolerate the direct display of some of these objects, few will tolerate the complexity of manually manipulating objects to accomplish row creation. The management application should handle these functions.
There are times when a management station will not be in constant contact with its remote monitoring devices. This sometimes occurs by design, in an attempt to lower communications costs (especially when communicating over a WAN or dialup link), or by accident, as network failures affect the communications between the management station and the probe.
For this reason, this MIB allows a probe to be configured to perform diagnostics and to collect statistics continuously, even when communication with the management station may not be possible or efficient. The probe may then attempt to notify the management station when an exceptional condition occurs. Thus, even in circumstances where communication between the management station and probe is not continuous, fault, performance, and configuration information may be continuously accumulated and communicated to the management station conveniently and efficiently.
Given the resources available on the monitor, it is potentially helpful for it to run diagnostics continuously and to log network performance. The monitor is always available at the onset of any failure. It can notify the management station of the failure and can store historical statistical information about the failure. This historical information can be played back by the management station in an attempt to perform further diagnosis of the cause of the problem.
The monitor can be configured to recognize conditions, most notably error conditions, and to check for them continuously. When one of these conditions occurs, the event may be logged, and management stations may be notified in a number of ways.
Because a remote monitoring device represents a network resource dedicated exclusively to network management functions, and because it is located directly on the monitored portion of the network, the remote network monitoring device has the opportunity to add significant value to the data it collects. For instance, by highlighting those hosts on the network that generate the most traffic or errors, the probe can give the management station precisely the information it needs to solve a class of problems.
An organization may have multiple management stations for different units of the organization, for different functions (e.g., engineering and operations), and in order to provide disaster recovery. Because environments with multiple management stations are common, the remote network monitoring device has to deal with more than one management station, potentially using its resources concurrently.
The objects are arranged into the following groups:
- protocol directory
- protocol distribution
- address mapping
- network layer host
- network layer matrix
- application layer host
- application layer matrix
- user history
- probe configuration
These groups are the basic units of conformance. If a remote monitoring device implements a group, then it must implement all objects in that group. For example, a managed agent that implements the network layer matrix group must implement the nlMatrixSDTable and the nlMatrixDSTable.
Implementations of this MIB must also implement the IF-MIB [RFC2863].
These groups are defined to provide a means of assigning object identifiers, and to provide a method for managed agents to know which objects they must implement.
This document also contains AUGMENTing tables to extend some tables defined in the RMON MIB [RFC2819]. These extensions include the following:
1) Adding the DroppedFrames and LastCreateTime conventions to each table defined in the RMON MIB.
2) Augmenting the RMON filter table with a mechanism that allows filtering based on an offset from the beginning of a particular protocol, even if the protocol headers are of variable length.
3) Augmenting the RMON filter and capture status bits with additional bits for WAN media and generic media. These bits are defined here as follows:
Bit Definition
6 For WAN media, this bit is set for packets
coming from one direction and cleared for
packets coming from the other direction.
It is an implementation-specific matter
as to which bit is assigned to which
direction, but it must be consistent for
all packets received by the agent. If
the agent knows which end of the link is
"local" and which end is "network", the bit
should be set for packets from the "local"
side and should be cleared for packets from
the "network" side.
7 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
with a physical layer error. This bit may be
set in addition to other media-specific bits
that denote the same condition.
8 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
that is too short for the media. This bit may
be set in addition to other media-specific
bits that denote the same condition.
9 For any media, this bit is set for any packet
that is too long for the media. This bit may
be set in addition to other media-specific bits
that denote the same condition.
These enhancements are implemented by RMON-2 probes that also implement RMON and do not add any requirements to probes that are compliant to just RMON.
Due to the complex nature of the available functions in these devices, the functions often need user configuration. In many cases, the function requires that parameters be set up for a data collection operation. The operation can proceed only after these parameters are fully set up.
Many functional groups in this MIB have one or more tables in which to set up control parameters, and one or more data tables in which to place the results of the operation. The control tables are typically read/write in nature, while the data tables are typically read-only. Because the parameters in the control table often describe resulting data in the data table, many of the parameters can be modified only when the control entry is not active. Thus, the method for modifying these parameters is to deactivate the entry, perform the SNMP Set operations to modify the entry, and then reactivate the entry. Deleting the control entry causes the deletion of any associated data entries, which also gives a convenient method for reclaiming the resources used by the associated data.
Some objects in this MIB provide a mechanism to execute an action on the remote monitoring device. These objects may execute an action as a result of a change in the state of the object. For those objects in this MIB, a request to set an object to the same value as it currently holds would thus cause no action to occur.
To facilitate control by multiple managers, resources have to be shared among the managers. These resources are typically the memory and computation resources that a function requires.
When multiple management stations wish to use functions that compete for a finite amount of resources on a device, a method to facilitate this sharing of resources is required. Potential conflicts include the following:
The OwnerString mechanism is provided for each management station- initiated function in this MIB to avoid these conflicts and to help resolve them when they occur. Each function has a label identifying the initiator (owner) of the function. This label is set by the initiator to provide for the following possibilities:
Management stations and probes should support any format of the owner string dictated by the local policy of the organization. It is suggested that this name contain one or more of the following: IP address, management station name, network manager's name, location, or phone number. This information will help users share the resources more effectively.
There is often default functionality that the device or the administrator of the probe (often the network administrator) wishes to set up. The resources associated with this functionality are then owned by the device itself or by the network administrator, and they are intended to be long-lived. In this case, the device or the administrator will set the relevant owner object to a string starting
with 'monitor'. Indiscriminate modification of the monitor-owned configuration by network management stations is discouraged. In fact, a network management station should only modify these objects under the direction of the administrator of the probe.
Resources on a probe are scarce and are typically allocated when control rows are created by an application. Since many applications may be using a probe simultaneously, indiscriminate allocation of resources to particular applications is very likely to cause resource shortages in the probe.
When a network management station wishes to utilize a function in a monitor, it is encouraged first to scan the control table of that function to find an instance with similar parameters to share. This is especially true for those instances owned by the monitor, which can be assumed to change infrequently. If a management station decides to share an instance owned by another management station, it should understand that the management station that owns the instance may indiscriminately modify or delete it.
Note that a management application should have the most trust in a monitor-owned row, because it should be changed very infrequently. A row owned by the management application is less long-lived because a network administrator is more likely to reassign resources from a row that is in use by one user than those from a monitor-owned row that is potentially in use by many users. A row owned by another application would be even less long-lived because the other application may delete or modify that row completely at its discretion.
The addition of new rows is achieved using the RowStatus Textual Convention [RFC2579]. In this MIB, rows are often added to a table in order to configure a function. This configuration usually involves parameters that control the operation of the function. The agent must check these parameters to make sure they are appropriate given the restrictions defined in this MIB, as well as any implementation-specific restrictions, such as lack of resources. The agent implementor may be confused as to when to check these parameters and when to signal to the management station that the parameters are invalid. There are two opportunities:
If the latter option is chosen, it would be unclear to the management station which of the several parameters was invalid and caused the badValue error to be emitted. Thus, wherever possible, the implementor should choose the former option, as it will provide more information to the management station.
A problem can arise when multiple management stations attempt to set configuration information simultaneously using SNMP. When this involves the addition of a new conceptual row in the same control table, the managers may collide, attempting to create the same entry. To guard against these collisions, each such control entry contains a status object with special semantics that help arbitrate among the managers. If an attempt is made with the row addition mechanism to create such a status object and that object already exists, an error is returned. When more than one manager simultaneously attempts to create the same conceptual row, only the first will succeed. The others will receive an error.
In the RMON MIB [RFC2819], the EntryStatus textual convention was introduced to provide this mutual exclusion function. Since then, this function was added to the SNMP framework as the RowStatus textual convention. The RowStatus textual convention is used for the definition of all new tables.
When a manager wishes to create a new control entry, it needs to choose an index for that row. It may choose this index in a variety of ways, hopefully minimizing the chances that the index is in use by another manager. If the index is in use, the mechanism mentioned previously will guard against collisions. Examples of schemes to choose index values include random selection or scanning the control table while looking for the first unused index. Because index values may be any valid value in the range and are chosen by the manager, the agent must allow a row to be created with any unused index value if it has the resources to create a new row.
Some tables in this MIB reference other tables within this MIB. When creating or deleting entries in these tables, it is generally allowable for dangling references to exist. There is no defined order for creating or deleting entries in these tables.
The following conventions are used throughout the RMON MIB and its companion documents.
Good Packets
Good packets are error-free packets that have a valid frame length. For example, on Ethernet, good packets are error-free packets that are between 64 octets and 1518 octets long. They follow the form defined in IEEE 802.3 section 3.2.all.
Bad Packets
Bad packets are packets that have proper framing and are therefore recognized as packets, but that contain errors within the packet or have an invalid length. For example, on Ethernet, bad packets have a valid preamble and SFD but have a bad CRC, or they are either shorter than 64 octets or longer than 1518 octets.
The following practices and conventions are introduced in the RMON 2 MIB.
There are many cases in this MIB where the term "Application Level" is used to describe a class of protocols or a capability. This does not typically mean a protocol that is an OSI Layer 7 protocol. Rather, it is used to identify a class of protocols that is not limited to MAC-layer and network-layer protocols, but can also include transport, session, presentation, and application-layer protocols.
Every RMON 2 implementation will have the capability to parse certain types of packets and identify their protocol type at multiple levels. The protocol directory presents an inventory of protocol types the probe is capable of monitoring and allows the addition, deletion, and configuration of protocol types in this list.
One concept deserves special attention: the "limited extensibility"
of the protocol directory table. Using the RMON 2 model, protocols
are detected by static software that has been written at
implementation time. Therefore, as a matter of configuration, an
implementation cannot suddenly learn how to parse new packet types.
However, an implementation may be written such that the software
knows where the demultiplexing field is for a particular protocol,
and it can be written in such a way that the decoding of the next
layer up is table driven. This works when the code has been written
to accommodate it and can be extended no more than one level higher.
This extensibility is called "limited extensibility" to highlight these limitations. However, this can be a very useful tool.
For example, suppose that an implementation has C code that understands how to decode IP packets on any of several ethernet encapsulations, and also knows how to interpret the IP protocol field to recognize UDP packets and how to decode the UDP port number fields. That implementation may be table driven so that among the many different UDP port numbers possible, it is configured to recognize 161 as SNMP, port 53 as DNS, and port 69 as TFTP. The limited extensibility of the protocol directory table would allow an SNMP operation to create an entry that would create an additional table mapping for UDP that would recognize UDP port 123 as NTP and begin counting such packets.
This limited extensibility is an option that an implementation can choose to allow or disallow for any protocol that has child protocols.
Packets with link-level errors are not counted anywhere in this MIB because most variables in this MIB require the decoding of the contents of the packet, which is meaningless if there is a link-level error.
Packets in which protocol errors are detected are counted for all protocols below the layer in which the error was encountered. The implication of this is that packets in which errors are detected at the network-layer are not counted anywhere in this MIB, while packets with errors detected at the transport layer may have network-layer statistics counted.

DESCRIPTION
"The MIB module for managing remote monitoring
device implementations. This MIB module
extends the architecture introduced in the original
RMON MIB as specified in RFC 2819.
Copyright © The Internet Society (2006). This version of this MIB module is part of RFC 4502; see the RFC itself for full legal notices."
REVISION "200605020000Z" -- May 2, 2006
DESCRIPTION
"This version updates the proposed-standard version of the
RMON2 MIB (published as RFC 2021) by adding 2 new
enumerations to the nlMatrixTopNControlRateBase object and
4 new enumerations to the alMatrixTopNControlRateBase object.
These new enumerations support the creation of high-capacity
topN reports in the High Capacity RMON MIB [RFC3273].
Additionally, the following objects have been deprecated, as they have not had enough independent implementations to demonstrate interoperability to meet the requirements of a Draft Standard:
probeDownloadFile
probeDownloadTFTPServer
probeDownloadAction
probeDownloadStatus
serialMode
serialProtocol
serialTimeout
serialModemInitString
serialModemHangUpString
serialModemConnectResp

trapDestIndex
trapDestCommunity
trapDestProtocol
trapDestAddress

trapDestStatus
In addition, two corrections were made. The LastCreateTime Textual Convention had been defined with a base type of another textual convention, which isn't allowed in SMIv2. The definition has been modified to use TimeTicks as the base type.
Further, the SerialConfigEntry SEQUENCE definition included sub-typing information that is not allowed in SMIv2. This information has been deleted. Ranges were added to a number of objects and textual-conventions to constrain their maximum (and sometimes minimum) sizes. The addition of these ranges documents existing practice for these objects. These objects
are:
ControlString
protocolDirID
protocolDirParameters
addressMapNetworkAddress
nlHostAddress
nlMatrixSDSourceAddress
nlMatrixSDDestAddress
nlMatrixDSSourceAddress
nlMatrixDSDestAddress
nlMatrixTopNSourceAddress
nlMatrixTopNDestAddress
alHostEntry
alMatrixSDEntry
alMatrixDSEntry
alMatrixTopNSourceAddress
alMatrixTopNDestAddress
Finally, the TimeFilter TC has been updated to encourage agent implementations that allow a MIB walk to behave well even when performed by an application that is not aware of the special TimeFilter semantics."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This TC describes an object that counts events with the
following semantics: objects of this type will be set to
zero(0) on creation and will thereafter count appropriate
events, wrapping back to zero(0) when the value 2^32 is
reached.
Provided that an application discovers the new object within the minimum time to wrap, it can use the initial value as a delta since it last polled the table of which this object is part. It is important for a management station to be aware of this minimum time and the actual time between polls, and to discard data if the actual time is too long or there is no defined minimum time.
Typically, this TC is used in tables where the INDEX space is constantly changing and/or the TimeFilter mechanism is in use." SYNTAX Gauge32
LastCreateTime ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This TC describes an object that stores the value of the
sysUpTime object at the last time its entry was created.
This can be used for polling applications to determine that an entry has been deleted and re-created between polls, causing an otherwise undetectable discontinuity in the data.
If sysUpTime is reset to zero as a result of a re-
initialization of the network management (sub)system, then
the values of all LastCreateTime objects are also reset.
However, after approximately 497 days without a re-
initialization, the sysUpTime object will reach 2^^32-1 and
then increment to zero; in this case, existing values
of TimeStamp objects do not change. This can lead to
ambiguities in the value of TimeStamp objects."
SYNTAX TimeTicks
TimeFilter ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"To be used for the index to a table. Allows an application
to download only those rows changed since a particular time.
Note that this is not a history mechanism. Only current values of underlying objects are returned; saved instance values associated with particular values of sysUpTime are not.
An entry is considered changed if the value of any object in the entry changes, if the row is created, or if any object in the entry is created or deleted. Note that deleted entries cannot be detected or downloaded.
A time-filtered conceptual table is created by inserting a single object of SYNTAX TimeFilter as the first INDEX component in a copy of an existing basic conceptual table (i.e., any SEQUENCE without a TimeFilter INDEX component). Thus, for each conceptual entry 'I' in the basic table, there exists N conceptual entries in the time-filtered version, indexed N.I, where 'N' is equal to the value of sysUpTime.
When an application retrieves conceptual instances from a time-filtered table, and an INDEX value is provided for the TimeFilter INDEX component 'N', the agent will only consider returning basic conceptual entries (e.g., 'fooColumn.N.I') if any column within the basic conceptual entry has changed since sysUpTime 'N'. If not, the basic conceptual entry will be ignored for the particular retrieval operation.
When sysUpTime is equal to zero, this table shall be empty.
One conceptual entry exists for each past value of sysUpTime, except that the whole table is purged should sysUpTime wrap.
As an entry in a time-filtered table is updated (i.e., one of the columns in the basic conceptual table is changed), new conceptual entries are also created in the time-filtered version (which still shares the now updated object values with all other instances). The number of unique time-filtered instances that are created is determined by the value of sysUpTime at which the basic entry was last updated. One unique instance will exist for each value of sysUpTime at the last update time for the row. However, a new TimeFilter index instance is created for each new sysUpTime value. The TimeFilter index values not associated with entry updates are called duplicate time-filtered instances.
After some deployment experience, it has been determined that
a time-filtered table is more efficient if the agent
stops a MIB walk operation by skipping over rows with a
TimeFilter index value higher than the value in the received
GetNext/GetBulk request. That is, instead of incrementing a
TimeFilter index value, the agent will continue to the next
object or table. As a consequence, GetNext or GetBulk operations will provide only one pass through a time-filtered table.
It is suggested that an agent implement a time-filtered table in this manner to improve performance and avoid a MIB walk getting stuck in time-filtered tables. It is, however, still acceptable for an agent to implement a time-filtered table in the traditional manner (i.e., every conceptual time-filtered instance is returned in GetNext and GetBulk PDU responses), and management applications must be able to deal with such traditional implementations.
See the appendix for further discussion of this textual convention.
The following example is provided to demonstrate TimeFilter behavior:
Consider the following basic conceptual table, basicFooTable. (Note that the basic version of a time-filtered table may not actually be defined.)
basicFooTable:
basicFooTable ...
INDEX { fooIndex }
BasicFooEntry {
fooIndex Integer32,
fooCounts Counter32
}
For this example, the basicFooTable contains two static conceptual entries (fooIndex equals '1' and '2'), created at time zero. It also contains one dynamic conceptual entry (fooIndex equals '3'), which is created at time '3' and deleted at time '7'.
The time-filtered version of the basicFooTable could be defined as follows:
FooTable:
fooTable ...
INDEX { fooTimeMark, fooIndex }
FooEntry {
fooTimeMark TimeFilter,
fooIndex Integer32,
fooCounts Counter32
}
Note that entries exist in the time-filtered conceptual table only if they actually exist in the underlying (basic) table.
For this example, the fooTable will have three underlying
basic entries (fooIndex == 1, 2, and 3), with the following
activity (for sysUpTime equal 0 to 9):
- fooEntry.N.1 is created at time '0' and most recently
updated at time '6' to the value '5'.
- fooEntry.N.2 is created at time '0' and most recently
updated at time '8' to the value '9'.
- fooEntry.N.3 is created at time '3', updated at time '5'
to the value '17', and deleted at time '7'.
The following tables show the values that would be returned for MIB walk operations with various TimeFilter values, done at different times. An application issues a retrieval request at time 'T', with a TimeFilter value, 'N' (typically set to a lower value, such as the value of sysUpTime at the last polling cycle).
The following values would be returned in a MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '0' and N equals '0':
fooCounts.N.I Value
==========================
fooCounts.0.1 0
fooCounts.0.2 0
Note that nothing is returned for fooCounts.0.3, since that entry does not exist at sysUpTime equals '0'.
The following values would be returned in a full (traditional) MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '3' and N equals '0':
fooCounts.N.I Value
=======================
fooCounts.0.1 0
fooCounts.0.2 0
fooCounts.0.3 0
fooCounts.1.3 0
fooCounts.2.3 0
fooCounts.3.3 0
Note that there are no instances for T equals 1 or 2 for the first two values of N, as these entries did not change since they were created at time '0'.
Note that the current value for 'fooCounts.N.3' is returned here, even for values of N less than '3' (when the entry was created). The agent only considers the current existence of an entry in the TimeFilter algorithm, not the time when the entry was created.
Note that the instances 'fooCounts.0.3', 'fooCounts.1.3', and 'fooCounts.2.3' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the agent in a MIB walk.
The following values would be returned in a full (traditional) MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '6' and N equals '3':
fooCounts.N.I Value
=======================
fooCounts.3.1 5
fooCounts.3.3 17
fooCounts.4.1 5
fooCounts.4.3 17
fooCounts.5.1 5
fooCounts.5.3 17
fooCounts.6.1 5
Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.2' are returned, since it has not changed since time '3'.
Note that all instances except 'fooCounts.5.3' and
'fooCounts.6.1' are duplicates and can be suppressed by the
agent in a MIB walk.
The following values would be returned in a full (traditional) MIB walk of fooCounts.N if T equals '9' and N equals '6':
fooCounts.N.I Value
=======================
fooCounts.6.1 5
fooCounts.6.2 9
fooCounts.7.2 9
fooCounts.8.2 9
Note that no instances for entry 'fooCounts.N.3' are returned, since it was deleted at time '7'.
Note that instances 'fooCounts.6.2' and 'fooCounts.7.2'
are duplicates and can be suppressed by the agent in a MIB walk."

DESCRIPTION
"A unique identifier for a particular protocol. Standard
identifiers will be defined in such a manner that they
can often be used as specifications for new protocols - i.e., a tree-structured assignment mechanism that matches the protocol encapsulation 'tree' and that has algorithmic assignment mechanisms for certain subtrees. See RFC 2074 for more details.
Despite the algorithmic mechanism, the probe will only place
entries in here for those protocols it chooses to collect. In
other words, it need not populate this table with all
possible ethernet protocol types, nor need it create them on
the fly when it sees them. Whether it does these
things is a matter of product definition (cost/benefit,
usability) and is up to the designer of the product.
If an entry is written to this table with a protocolDirID that
the agent doesn't understand, either directly or
algorithmically, the SET request will be rejected with an
inconsistentName or badValue (for SNMPv1) error."

The proper parameter value for each node is included in this string. Note that the inclusion of a parameter value in this string for each node is not optional.

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This object describes 2 attributes of this protocol
directory entry.
The presence or absence of the 'extensible' bit describes whether this protocol directory entry can be extended by the user by creating protocol directory entries that are children of this protocol.
An example of an entry that will often allow extensibility is
'ip.udp'. The probe may automatically populate some children
of this node, such as 'ip.udp.snmp' and 'ip.udp.dns'.
A probe administrator or user may also populate additional
children via remote SNMP requests that create entries in this
table. When a child node is added for a protocol for which the
probe has no built-in support extending a parent node (for
which the probe does have built-in support),
that child node is not extendable. This is termed 'limited
extensibility'.
When a child node is added through this extensibility
mechanism, the values of protocolDirLocalIndex and
protocolDirType shall be assigned by the agent.
The other objects in the entry will be assigned by the manager who is creating the new entry.
This object also describes whether this agent can
recognize addresses for this protocol, should it be a
network-level protocol. That is, while a probe may be able
to recognize packets of a particular network-layer protocol
and count them, it takes additional logic to be able to
recognize the addresses in this protocol and to populate
network-layer or application-layer tables with the addresses
in this protocol. If this bit is set, the agent will
recognize network-layer addresses for this protocol and
populate the network- and application-layer host and matrix
tables with these protocols.
Note that when an entry is created, the agent will supply values for the bits that match the capabilities of the agent with respect to this protocol. Note that since row creations usually exercise the limited extensibility feature, these bits will usually be set to zero."

it will set the entry to notSupported(1) if it doesn't have the capability to perform address mapping for the protocol or if this protocol is not a network-layer protocol. When an entry is created in this table by a management operation as part of the limited extensibility feature, the probe must set this value to notSupported(1), because limited extensibility of the protocolDirTable does not extend to interpreting addresses of the extended protocols.
If the value of this object is notSupported(1), the probe

probe may only support a protocol if it is supported in both
the nlHostTable and the alHostTable.
If the associated protocolDirType object has the
addressRecognitionCapable bit set, then this is a network-
layer protocol for which the probe recognizes addresses, and
thus the probe will populate the nlHostTable and alHostTable with addresses it discovers for this protocol.
If the value of this object is notSupported(1), the probe

Whenever this value changes from supportedOn(3) to

the probe may only support a protocol if it is supported in
both of the nlMatrixTables and both of the

If the associated protocolDirType object has the

If the value of this object is notSupported(1), the probe
will not track either of the nlMatrixTables or the
