“…Most of the reviewed papers use a combination of measurements and quantitative analysis (see Table 2). We also found articles dealing with SNMP modeling using some well-known modeling tools such as Petri Nets, UML diagrams [37] and queueing theory [44], or even an SDL specifi cation [38] of the SNMP protocol. We have also found a Tcl/Tk-based multi-platform SNMP agent simulator [39].…”

“…From their testing, the authors concluded that object-level gateways are more interesting than SNMP when the amount of retrieved objects is high. The hierarchical SNMP distribution model was analysed in Subramanyan et al [14], where the performance of a centralized and distributed SNMP are compared in terms of delays involved in performing a designated monitoring task. The results show that the SNMP distributed model performs better than the centralized model.…”

Survey of SNMP performance analysis studies

SUMMARYThis paper provides a survey of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-related performance studies. Over the last 10 years, a variety of such studies have been published. Performance benchmarking of SNMP, like all benchmarking studies, is a non-trivial task that requires substantial effort to be performed well and achieve its purpose. In many cases, existing studies have employed different techniques, metrics, scenarios and parameters. The reason for this diversity is the absence of a common framework for SNMP performance analysis. Without such a framework, results of SNMP-related performance studies cannot easily be compared, extended or reused. It is therefore important to start a research activity to defi ne such a framework. Such research activity should start from analysing previous studies on this topic to reveal their employed methods. In this survey we examine these studies by classifying and discussing them. We present techniques, approaches and metrics employed by these studies to quantify the performance of SNMP-based applications.

“…In [7], the authors use some queueing modeling features to simulate the behaviour of an SNMPv1 agent. The thesis of Subramanyan [8] contains a model of the behaviour of a hierarchical SNMP based management platform using queueing networks. In [9], authors provide some formulas to assess the performance of different management approaches (centralized, distributed and mobile agents).…”

Abstract-It is essential that a monitoring system is being designed with performance and scalability in mind. But due to the diversity and complexity of both the monitoring and the monitored systems, it is currently difficult to reason on both performance and scalability using ad hoc techniques. Thus, both simulation is required and analytical models based on well established techniques such as queueing theory have to be developed. In this paper we provide an analytical modeling of the behaviour of the commonly used manager-agent monitoring frameworks within two scenarios: single manager-single agent and single manager-multiple agents. The two designed models enable the automation of the estimation of the scalability limit of the two types of management monitoring schemes regarding a performance metric like the monitoring delay. We validate our developed models through simulation based on parameters values obtained from the performance measurement of a life running JMX-based monitoring applications with the two scenarios.

“…To check a target machine configuration, this system introduces a troubleshooter client/server interface as in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [13]. Although SNMP is mainly used to check system and network traffic, this troubleshooter client/server interface is used to execute specific commands [11] to check the configuration of a target machine.…”

This paper proposes a method for generating a Web-page based troubleshooter, which diagnoses troubles about computer system administration. This troubleshooter digs out several possible causes (hypotheses) from the current status of a trouble, and then examines those hypotheses in turn. After the cause is identified, it will present a solution to fix the trouble. To illustrate the status of a trouble, possible causes, examination methods and presentation of a solution, Web pages (hereafter, info pages) are used, which are defined in HTML code. From the info pages that explain each status of troubleshooting, the method this paper presents generates troubleshooter client/server interface, a stack of status history and titled links to the next info pages. This paper also describes two ways to easily implement this method on both of a client side and a server side.
