In Section 9.3 we saw that it was preferable to transport SNMP messages in unreliable UDP datagrams. Why do you think the designers of SNMP chose UDP rather than TCP as the transport protocol of choice for SNMP?

Answer

Consider the data of it was preferable to transport SNMP messages in unreliable UDP datagrams  in the section 9.3 from the text book.

  • The designers of SNMP( simple network management protocol ) chose UDP( User Datagram Protocol ) rather than TCP( Transmission Control Protocol ) as the transport protocol of choice for SNMP.
  • The reason is that,  if the SNMP protocol runs over the TCP, then stops sending messages.
  • If the network manager wants to send SNMP messages, then the control of TCP back off to SNMP.
