+    <title>Combining Mnesia and SNMP </title>
+    <p>Many telecommunications applications must be controlled and
+      reconfigured remotely. It is sometimes an advantage to perform
+      this remote control with an open protocol such as the Simple
+      Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The alternatives to this would
+      be:  
+      </p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item>Not being able to control the application remotely at all.
+      </item>
+      <item>Using a proprietary control protocol.
+      </item>
+      <item>Using a bridge which maps control messages in a
+       proprietary protocol to a standardized management protocol and
+       vice versa. 
+      </item>
+    </list>
+    <p>All of these approaches have different advantages and
+      disadvantages. Mnesia applications can easily be opened to the
+      SNMP protocol. It is possible to establish a direct one-to-one
+      mapping between Mnesia tables and SNMP tables. This
+      means that a Mnesia table can be configured to be <em>both</em>
+      a Mnesia table and an SNMP table. A number of functions to
+      control this behavior are described in the Mnesia reference
+      manual.
