Abstract :
This paper addresses the problem of providing secure network management using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) across a backbone network. We compare using the built-in authentication and privacy features of SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) and using SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2c) over IP Security (IPSec). Our results indicate that a framework based on IPSec offers functional and performance advantages. With respect to capacity utilization, our experimental results show that SNMPv3 consumes as much as 24 percent more network capacity than SNMPv2c over IPSec
