While designing a MIB module for MIDCOM, we are discussing how many objects we should stuff into a single notification.
The size of the PDU is the relevant metric, but the number of objects. If you have a recent version of smidump, you can run "smidump -f sizes" to get some estimates of PDU sizes (excluding the message portion which is heavily SNMP version and parameter dependent).
Thanks. That's a useful new feature.
Our module assumes SNMPv3 security. Does there also exist a worst case calculation for USM authentication? How to consider encryption?
