<abstract>
<t>The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the third
   version of the Internet-standard Management Framework, termed the
   SNMP version 3 Framework (SNMPv3).  This Framework is derived from
   and builds upon both the original Internet-standard Management
   Framework (SNMPv1) and the second Internet-standard Management
   Framework (SNMPv2).</t>
<t>The architecture is designed to be modular to allow the evolution of
   the Framework over time.</t></abstract></front>
