Zusammenfassung:Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a popular management protocol. It uses fully distinguished ID for every object sent or received in a message contributing to redundancy. Compression algorithms are proposed to eliminate such redundancies. This paper presents an analysis to understand the effectiveness of such compression algorithms. This analysis provides some interesting results and requirements for OID compression algorithms in general. This paper also presents an algorithm that makes use of the results of this analysis.
