[snmp-info] Re: [Netdisco] [ANNOUNCE] SNMP::Info 0.9 Released

[<bor...@gm...>]

WOW!

What a performance increase.
With SNMP::Info 0.8 I had the following times.
arp 33624 entries. 145.10 minutes. Mon Nov 15 20:25:16 2004 
discover 1307 devices. (0 new) (12 old) 190.35 minutes. Mon Nov 15
12:10:26 2004
mac 18503 distinct nodes. 351022 forwarding table entries. 399.95
minutes. Mon Nov 15 19:40:03 2004

And with SNMP::Info 0.9 I get the following.
arp 35282 entries. 69.53 minutes. Tue Nov 16 19:09:34 2004 
discover 1305 devices. (0 new) (8 old) 166.70 minutes. Tue Nov 16 11:46:47 2004 
mac 19390 distinct nodes. 377041 forwarding table entries. 189.67
minutes. Tue Nov 16 16:09:42 200

At least arp-niping and mac-sucking is about 2 times as fast.
Awesome job there.
