Network monitoring has been traditionally conducted using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): a network monitoring protocol that allows network administrators to keep track of every node in the network and ensure that it behaves correctly. This paper presents the Constrained Monitored Protocol (CoMP): a lightweight resource-efficient alternative to SNMP that targets the low-end devices of the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices are characterised by severe resource constraints in terms of memory, processing power, and bandwidth. Moreover, they are often energy-constrained as well, powered either by small batteries or energy harvesting. While SNMP does work with these devices, it has an unnecessary overhead resulting in a waste of resources that could otherwise be used for some other task, or to save energy. Furthermore, this paper proposes a cross-protocol CoMP-SNMP proxy that operates at the border router of the resource-constrained network and enables the efficient monitoring of resource-constrained IoT devices using CoMP from existing SNMP-based network monitoring infrastructures.

传统上，网络监视是使用简单网络管理协议（SNMP）进行的：一种网络监视协议，允许网络管理员跟踪网络中的每个节点并确保其行为正常。本文介绍了约束监控协议（CoMP）：这是一种轻量级资源高效的SNMP替代方案，针对IoT（IoT）的低端设备。这些设备的特点是在内存，处理能力和带宽方面都存在严格的资源约束。而且，它们通常也受到能量的限制，要么通过小型电池供电，要么通过能量收集来供电。尽管SNMP确实适用于这些设备，但它具有不必要的开销，导致浪费资源，而这些资源本来可以用于其他任务或节省能源。此外，
