Dear All,

By studying and testing SNMP performance these days, I came up some ideas here, 
would like to hear your comments:
SNMP sub-agent mode slows down the total time of getbulk, by change the SNMP 
agent architecture from sub-agent to one agent, the performance improves 
dramatically.
See below for some test result, with sub-agent, the getbulk time is 
approximately 3 times than the time without sub-agent.

 Table

No SubAgent

with Sub Agent

16oid, 18 rows

4s

13s

5 oid, 500 rows

38s

140s

70 oid, 70 rows

35s

152s



Don’t know if anyone has same puzzle, is there anything wrong here?



I paste the config file:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# SNMP master agent configuration file template

# defines a list of listening addresses, on which to receive incoming SNMP 
requests

agentaddress 54321

# enable the AgentX functionality and cause the agent to start listening for 
incoming AgentX registrations

master  agentx

# defines the address the master agent listens at, or the subagent should 
connect to

agentxSocket localhost:705

# defines the timeout period (NUM seconds) for an AgentX request

agentXTimeout 5

# define engine ID for version3

engineIDType 1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Thanks,

Barclay
