Re: [snmpsim-users] Simulator Performance

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

Well, that's a good point as there's currently no way to control 
transport IDs allocation (but this could be easily added into snmpsimd.py).

The simplest solution would be to let multiple instances allocating the 
same set of transport IDs but use dedicated --data-dir's for each 
instance having different .snmprec files for the same transport ID in 
each --data-dir.

What do you think?
