First there was DHC Leasequery (RFC4388), next DHCv6 Leasequery
(RFC5007), now we have DHCv6 Bulk Leasequery. And someone seems to be
proposing DHCPv4 bulk leasequery as well
(draft-dtv-dhc-dhcpv4-bulk-leasequery).
RFC4388 S4.2 described reasons why SNMP was deemed inappropriate.
And if you look at the reasoning there, some of these are not even
valid anymore for bulk leasequeries. I remain unconvinced. A far
better solution would seem to be define a smaller MIB just for
querying leases so implementing it would be trivial. Bulk
leasequeries just underline the fact that SNMP and MIB data models are
being reinvented inside DHCP.
