However, when the SNMP protocol performs connection between network devices through the UDP (User Datagram Protoco, hereinafter referred to as UDP) protocol of its lower transport layer, the UDP protocol writes connection information to be transmitted In the packet, it is delivered to the underlying IP (Internet Protocol) protocol for packet transmission. Although the UDP protocol can provide a more conscious network information service between network devices, the service it provides is not A non-connection-oriented service, which means that it neither establishes a connection relationship with the other party in advance, nor detects errors that may occur during the transmission process. Therefore, the transmission service provided by the UDP protocol is not reliable The upper layer of the SNMP protocol belongs to a passive network management system, which means that the other party will not proactively provide information without the network manager's inquiry. This feature, in transmitting a large number of Paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 511354 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (G) If there is an error in the transmission process of the UDP protocol, it will cause Packet loss, the SNMP does not confirm this agreement and, therefore, can not touch the body and provide real-time management of online services network.
