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
