"varbinds" are the fundamental mechanism for passing management information between client apps and an SNMP manager. See any SNMP book or primer for more information. The Net-SNMP varbind structure is simply our local representation of this basic building block. > I'm guessing that this was introduced during the > net-snmp 5.x upgrade ? No - it was part of the original CMU code, and dates from long before the UCD project (let alone the v5 Net-SNMP switch) The name of the structure has changed a couple of times since then, and it's developed a bit, but the core of this structure is much as it was right from the start. So that's twenty years or more.
