Abstract

This paper examines the role of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as a de-facto protocol in the field of network monitoring system. This paper discusses in detail the transmission of SNMP protocol, how it works in the network layer and also the three different revision that exists. Despite this popularity, there is a genuine concern for the fundamental limitation of SNMP as a protocol, and there are a growing number of network monitoring system shifting towards alternative method, and one such system is RESTful API. This paper will explore the argument towards the shift away from SNMP to API based system, and compare the differences between the two approaches. This paper also aims to analyze the actual difference when implementing the system in the network level, such as the difference delay of messages, the size of packets and the available security parameter on both systems.
