VERFAHREN ZUR GARANTIERTEN ABLIEFERUNG VON SNMP-TRAPS ÜBER EIN GROSSFLÄCHIGES NETZWERK

A system and method of guaranteeing the delivery of SNMP traps in a computer network. In an exemplary embodiment, the method receives SNMP Traps at a trap concentrator, which bundles the traps using a guaranteed delivery data transmission protocol. The trap concentrator further transmits the bundled traps across a network to a trap echoer, which unbundles the traps and transmits their data content to a trap processor. In exemplary embodiments, the trap concentrator recognizes if attempted trap transmission to the trap echoer fails, and if so, stores the bundled traps in a cache until they can be retransmitted in their original sequence.
