(By the way, I am awestruck at the potential impact of changing SNMP from
UDP-based to TCP-based, given the extensive debates that took place about this
when SNMP was originally developed. Has THIS decision been subject to
adequate
external review, preferably including a pass by the IAB?)
When I was the sponsoring AD for the group, I pushed back hard on this
point. The WG opted for the present path. I'm not saying they're
right -- in fact, I disagreed -- but the decision wasn't made by
default.
