Description: Defines objects for mapping RAQMON Protocol Data Units onto SNMP notifications for real-time application QoS monitoring data transport.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring RAQMON-RDS-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is RAQMON-RDS-MIB?

RAQMON-RDS-MIB is a vendor-neutral IETF standards-track module (RFC 4712) that defines how RAQMON (Real-time Application Quality-of-Service Monitoring) Protocol Data Units are mapped onto SNMP notifications, with RDS standing for RAQMON Data Source. Rather than exposing pollable configuration or performance tables, it defines notification-only objects (marked accessible-for-notify) that carry real-time application QoS metrics from a monitored data source device out to a management station via SNMP traps/informs. Its role in monitoring is entirely event-driven: it enables devices to push real-time application performance and quality data (such as jitter, delay, or loss metrics carried within the RAQMON PDU payload) rather than supporting simple Get/GetNext/GetBulk polling. It explicitly depends on the broader RAQMON PDU specification and standard SNMP notification infrastructure (SNMPv2-MIB conventions) since its objects only exist to carry PDU data into traps. It is typically deployed in VoIP, video, and other real-time application environments where routers, gateways, or endpoints act as RAQMON data sources reporting QoS telemetry to a central RAQMON Report Collector. Engineers can download the RAQMON-RDS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in RAQMON-RDS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer
  • VoIP gateway / real-time application QoS monitoring device

Monitoring Examples

No specific sample object names were available in the provided excerpt, consistent with the module's own description that its objects are notification-carrying fields rather than a conventional walkable table; a realistic use is a VoIP gateway acting as a RAQMON data source emitting an SNMP notification whenever a monitored session's QoS metrics (packet loss, jitter) cross a threshold, which a management station consumes as it arrives rather than by polling.
