OpenNMS has a poller that will do what you want. The problem is figuring out what you wish to collect and how to use it. Most of the time it's not as simple as pointing at the modem and saying go. I've added a few oids for some of the modems we support, just so I can get SNR on them. I

Pavel, AFAIK there are no frameworks that solve, or even come close to solving, this problem. The first thing to learn is how to do asynchronous SNMP calls that will let you send out requests without having to wait for the response. How you do those will vary by the language that you're using.

We built our own system for this purpose and just spawn one process per device being polled. This seems to work out OK and many cores can make this work out. You can also just split the workload horizontally across multiple servers. The challenges are as usual how to report from a dataset
