Adding to David,

IASON originally did a lot with SNMP, because of catalysts :)

We used Open Source snmpwalk because that was the easiest way to go.

When we added boxes and MIBs we got into trouble and out of memory.

As David observed, SNMP used to be slow and consumed a lot of cpu on
both the monitor and the monitored boxes.

We dropped SNMP finally when we moved away from the catalysts.

IASON never went commercial but is in the Open Source now and still very
pre beta.

Kind Regards
Peter
