I believe this comparison is flawed. ncclient uses a pure Python implementation of SSH while the authors used a Python wrapper around NET-SNMP (a C implementation) to measure SNMP performance. And the authors state that they used SNMPv2c (no security) and SSH as the NETCONF transport. (It is also unclear whether all NETCONF transactions were executed over a single session or multiple sessions.) The design of such experiments is not as easy as it may look at first glance and it is in particular important to use comparable security algorithms (ideally the same crypto library). /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH Phone: +49 421 200 3587 Campus Ring 1, 28759 Bremen, Germany Fax: +49 421 200 3103 <http://www.jacobs-university.de/> _______________________________________________ i2rs mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i2rs
