SNMP over SIP for network management

This paper proposes a solution for large scale network management using SNMP over SIP. SIP is defined as a general-purpose protocol for creating, modifying, and terminating sessions that works independently of the underlying transport protocols and without dependency on the type of session that is being established. Our work focuses on developing a SIP user agent that resides on the device or on an SNMP proxy and provides an efficient management interface.
