Overview

SNMP v3 introduces the following operation modes:

• Plaintext — Matches SNMP v2c but introduces a User Security Model (USM).
• Integrity Protection — Protects messages from tampering using a hash-based signature.
• Privacy Protection — Encrypts messages to ensure confidentiality.

This benchmark suite focuses on the efficiency of cryptographic operations using AES-128 and SHA-1 modes, and evaluates the following aspects of SNMP v3 operations:

• GETNEXT — Sequential iteration over the entire MIB using the GETNEXT operation.
• GETBULK — Sequential iteration over the entire MIB using the GETBULK operation.
• GETNEXT (Parallel) — Four parallel sessions performing sequential iteration over the entire MIB using the GETNEXT operation.
• GETBULK (Parallel) — Four parallel sessions performing sequential iteration over the entire MIB using the GETBULK operation.
