Of course, EMANATE imposes a small overhead for the Master Agent/Subagent communication. The performance is not affected dramatically. The round-trip time for sending an SNMP request between two workstations on SNMP Research’s network is between 6 and 12 ms. As disk access time is typically in this range as well, this is not considered problematic. Using SSL between the Master Agent and Subagents requires additional resources. Use only when necessary.
