We implemented both protocols. The core protocol engine for SNMP ended up being larger and more complex than that for CMIP. The complexity of GetNext, along with OID mangling, accounted for much of the difference. The "S" in SNMP was half marketing and half politics, and had very little to do with actual implementation or use.
