Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Traffic Measurements and Trace Exchange Formats

J. Schoenwaelder

Abstract

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely deployed to monitor, control, and (sometimes also) configure network elements.Even though the SNMP technology is well documented, it remains relatively unclear how SNMP is used in practice and what typical SNMP usage patterns are.This document describes an approach to carrying out large-scale SNMP traffic measurements in order to develop a better understanding of how SNMP is used in real-world production networks.It describes the motivation, the measurement approach, and the tools and data formats needed to carry out such a study.
