NAME

Net::SNMP::XS - speed up Net::SNMP by decoding in XS, with limitations

SYNOPSIS

use Net::SNMP::XS;

# loading it is enough to speed up Net::SNMP

DESCRIPTION

This module tries to speed up Net::SNMP response packet decoding.

It does this by overriding a few selected internal method by (almost) equivalent XS methods.

This currently reduces decode time by a factor of ten for typical bulk responses.

There are currently the following limitations when using this module:

overriding internal functions might cause the module to malfunction with future versions of Net::SNMP

error messages will be simpler/different

translation will be ignored (all values will be delivered "raw")

a moderately modern (>= C99) C compiler is required

only tested with 5.10, no intentions to port to older perls

duplicate OIDs are not supported

REPORT PDUs are not supported
