5. Further Work

A RITA MIB is under development. This may require adding interface technology and hardware to RITA; a prototype is depicted in Figure 2.

There has been to date no investigation of the possible use of RITA to implement RFC 1149^exp.

Additionally, this tool has been used with some success for dealing with non-network problems, particularly in the debugging of SCSI bus malfunctions.
