In a heavily congested and managed network, SNMP over TCP is a bad idea. When a network is failing, a protocol that tries to get the data through but gives up if it can't is a better design choice than a protocol that will flood the network with retransmissions in its attempt to achieve reliability.

All,
In every SNMP document it is stated that SNMP uses UDP
as transport. Can any body tell me is there any
specific reason to use SNMP over UDP and not TCP ?
I think Net-SNMP supports both TCP and UDP.
Thanks in advance
