AMP Agent Hierarchical Management Data (HMD) Report Templates.

Name	OID	Description	Primary usage	Definition	Size of RptTpl control (bytes)	Size of Report entry (bytes)
Terminal status report	[3].50	Battery life and uptime of the terminal node	Upward in the hierarchy from terminal nodes to vehicular nodes	[1].50, [1].51	19	8
Intervehicular report	[3].51	Simple statistical data about the vehicular node (number of agents registered to the manager run on the node, and total number of neighbours of the node)	To share data horizontally between vehicular nodes	[1].52, [1].53	19	8
Vehicular status report	[3].52	Basic information about the vehicular node and the nodes below it in the hierarchy (uptime, status of each agent registered to this node, fusion of statistics received from neighbouring vehicular nodes)	Upward in the hierarchy from vehicular nodes to transferable nodes	[1].50, [1].54, [1].62	24	, where N is the number of agents registered to the node, and M is the number of agents from which a Intervehicular report has been subscribed
Intertransferable report	[3].53	Detailed data about the transferable node (messaging statistics, disk space usage, information about the agents registered to the node)	To share data horizontally between transferable nodes	[1].55, [1].56, [1].57, [1].58, [1].59, [1].60, [1].61, [1].54	49	, where N is the number of agents registered to the node
Transferable status report	[3].54	Detailed information about the transferable node and the nodes below it in the hierarchy	Upward in the hierarchy from transferable nodes to core nodes	[1].50, [1].55, [1].56, [1].57, [1].58, [1].59, [1].60, [1].61, [1].54, [1].63	59	, where N is the number of agents registered to the node, and M is the number of agents from which a Intertransferable report has been subscribed
Intercore report	[3].55	All relevant information about the core node and detailed summary about the nodes below it in the hierarchy	To share data horizontally between core nodes	[1].55, [1].56, [1].57, [1].58, [1].59, [1].60, [1].61, [1].64	49	where N is the number of agents registered to the core node sending the report, is the number of agents registered to the nth agent of the core node, and is the number of agents from which the nth agent of the core node has subscribed an Intertransferable report

Note. The sizes of the RptTpl control and the resulting report entry do not contain the overhead of the AMP messages carrying the payload, i.e., the header data of Perform Control and Data report messages, respectively.
