How to measure the SNMP performance of C when compared to other languages?


Iam looking at software that opens up a data set and grabs a list of server ips and pings them. Someone familar with this software packge says there is nothing else faster because the software is built on C++. Short of rebuilding the app in java is these anyway i can confirm what is the best language when building an app around snmp?

I know the question of C performance is posted all over the place but I do not see anything related to SNMP. When your core application is somthing like snmp is there a prefered programing lang?


Solution

  • The performance of an SNMP client isn't likely to have much to do with the implementation language. The network and the responsiveness of the server are the rate-determining steps.
