Question

In Section 5.7 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 1

Answer:

The answer is "SNMP designers choose UDP as holding the SNMP texts instead of TCP".

Explanation:

Although SNMP is used to control the system like how to distributed networks. It can track data traffic and the lack of packets if there are any. So it requires that kind of procedure, that can also express the information in the situation of traffic.

• TCP may not recognize heavy traffic and even when SNMP notifications need to be sent, that would not transmit.
• The UDP causes less under-network interference and helps to relay information at the correct time.
