Service Mechanisms
 Client: A software element or program that requests information or actions
from other software elements known as
servers.
 Server: A program that provides some service to other (client)
programs. The connection between client and server is
normally by means of message passing, often over a network,
and uses some protocol to encode the client's requests and
the server's responses.
 Agent: An Agent is a server that "thinks". Agents are software modules that
first retrieve information about the managed devices they represent,
then store this information in a management database, and finally
provide it (proactively or reactively) to management entities within
network management systems (NMSs) via a network management
protocol.
