Please advise on this.
Email is a more verbose medium than SNMP, and the intended use is quite different. The recipient of an SNMP alarm is going to be a network monitoring application, not a human being (at least not directly), so the extra verbosity is not needed. Including them makes the packets larger, potentially causing UDP fragmentation, which increases the likelihood that the alarm will not be delivered. Better to reliably deliver a short alarm than to sometimes fail to deliver a long one. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
