By default, net-snmp uses unix domain sockets for AgentX connections. This means that the normal per process file descriptor limits will come into play. However, you can run AgentX over UDP to get around that limitation. (Restricting a UDP AgentX listening port to the localhost is strongly recommended).

As far as the master agent is concerned, I believe AgentX registrations look like any other registration, and there is no appreciable overhead. However, I've never heard of anyone using more than a handful of subagents, so there may be an issue lurking that nobody's hit yet. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the new InstallShield X. >From Windows to Linux, servers to mobile, InstallShield X is the one installation-authoring solution that does it all.
