SNMP Application Developer's Guide Robert L. Townsend The growing popularity of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networks has meant a growing demand for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications. For those charged with developing those applications, this book is a must-read. SNMP Application Developer's Guide goes far beyond what has been covered in every other reference book. Not only does it provide a complete understanding of what SNMP is, it also explains how it works and how developers can make it work most effectively for them. SNMP Application Developer's Guide includes:

* a comprehensive list of SNMP commands and easy-to-understand explanations of their usage

* a comparison of SNMP Versions 1 and 2 with each other, and with other management protocols

* a detailed listing of print and electronic sources for additional information

* a glossary of acronyms and terms

* extensive MIB information

Also included are two 3.5??? disks containing an invaluable collection of resources for SNMP applications developers, including:

* a source code for SNMP Versions 1 and 2

* an SNMP agent

* a complete tool set for application development

No matter what your involvement with TCP/IP networks -- whether as a programmer, an applications developer, or a network manager -- SNMP Application Developer's Guide will provide you with all the information you need to develop the higher-quality applications that will make your network operate more efficiently and effectively.
