Thanks for the response. If you are versed with snmp_print and asn1_parse I would be very interested in discussing online or offline how and why things are done the way they are. ASN.1 encoding, IMO, seems a bit convoluted and over-done. The history behind SNMP, SMI, and the OSI CMIP effort is very interesting.
Maybe you could link me to a good SNMP book outside of Orielly's, Stevens TCP/IP series and Rose's "The Open Book".
