What is the fastest API to control MIMIC?
A. As detailed above MIMIC can be controlled from various programming languages. Each of them has different performance characteristics (eg. interpreted vs. compiled). This section attempts to show how they stack up to each other. Oftentimes your choice of language will be determined by factors other than just speed, such as • knowledge of the language • efficiency and convenience of other services, eg. graphics, sorting, etc • policy/politics but if you have a choice, it could be influenced by speed, specially if controlling MIMIC means issuing many commands (eg. frequently configuring thousands of agents, or millions of MIB values) within time constraints. The control of MIMIC is a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism into the MIMIC server. MIMIC commands are performed via RPC calls.
