SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) is most commonly used as a standard protocol for effective network management by supporting the increasing size of the network and the variety of network elements such as router, switch, server and so on. However, SNMP has performance drawbacks of network overhead, processing latency, and the inefficiency in data retrieval. In this paper, we propose two schemes to improve the performance of SNMP; 1) the first scheme to reduce the amount of redundant OID information within a SNMP-GetBulk response message, 2) the second scheme of newly proposed SNMP-GetUpdate message combined with the cache in MNS. Through the analysis with real experiments, we show that our first scheme reduces the network overhead and the second scheme improves the processing latency and the retrieval of SNMP MIB tables. And, therefore the scalability of network management can be improved.
