Abstract :
There is great interest in exploring SNMP/TCP in addition to the current use of SNMP/UDP due to performance benefits for bulk transfer as well as to simplify management applications. If SNMP is implemented over TCP, then TLS is a natural choice for security. However, it must be demonstrated that the additional overhead associated with TLS is not excessive. We show this by implementing SNMP on a TLS/TCP base and measuring its performance experimentally. The results indicate that the overhead is not excessive; consequently SNMP/TLS/TCP appears to be a viable option for network management
