Following the work in Disman has highlighted a
number of difficulties with the basic technology of SNMP but as has been pointed
out to me, most of those are Mib-related,not
SNMP-the-protocol-related.
But one that I see as SNMP (sensu stricto) and hence a
possibility for this group, is the difficulty of identifying a PDU (as opposed
to identifying a MIB object at which SNMP is very good). Sometimes it
matters to know where information came from eg which PDU delivered the
Notification so as to track/correlate/eliminate duplicates etc.
As defined, SNMP does not seem to have any
reliable way of doing so; any ideas?
