Hi, experts:

	I am new to SNMP, and I have a simple question:

	Is there any way (by snmp or any method ... ) I can measure
	the load on a remote host without login to that host.
	I have played with some SNMP package these days. But it seems
	to me that you can not determine the load just by looking at
	how many packets has been discarded due to resource limitation
	or how many packets been discarded due to error .... right ?

        Thanks for any comment.
