Cisco Distributed Director MIB. The Cisco Distributed Director provides global Internet scalability and increased performance as seen by end users while reducing transmission costs and maximizing end-to-end access performance as seen by clients. The Cisco Distributed Director provides the ability to perform load distribution in a sophisticated manner that takes server availability, relative client-to-server topological proximities ('distances'), server load, and client-to-server link latency into account to determine the 'best' server. Having these provisions means that users need only a single subdomain name or Universal Resource Locator(URL)-embedded hostname for accessing a distributed set of servers. This eliminates the need for end-users to choose a server from a list of possible sites. The Cisco Distributed Director leverages the intelligence in the network to automatically, dynamically, and efficiently pick the 'best' server for the user, using a single hostname or DNS subdomain name. This MIB specification contains definitions of management information of the Distributed Director that can be remotely monitored and controlled. The information includes various statistics, configurations and status of Distributed Director. Some acronyms and terminologies used in this MIB, which may not be readily understood are defined below.
