So basically if i understand correctly async is using select with
nonblocking sockets and a large set of file descriptors? I assume you
use that since you stated that net-snmp is not thread-safe. And in
addition you just send a whole bunch of udp sendto's in a event loop?
that's really somet

Hi,
thanks for your reply. By:
--
btw, you would have to explain what you mean by "bare bones snmp
client whose
only hook is the systems headers/libraries"

I actually mean low-level api's. I want to code my own snmp client by
using the same techniques (i assume) net-snmp uses.
Gr,

Hello,
If i wanted to discover a large amount of hosts, which method would
be better. How does asynchronous work? Does it just send a bunch of
udp packets in a threaded fashion?
Another thing; as i start my foray in this snmp world :-), there seem
to be _almost_ no librarys who deal directl
