Hi,
I need to receive SNMP-Traps in one of my apps. While I have
successfully used Synapse to send SNMP-Traps I'm not sure I understand
how to receive Traps without missing data.
As Synapse uses blocking sockets I guess I should put the calls to
RecvTrap() into a thread of its own. So far so good. What puzzles me is
that inside the classless RecvTrap() function a TSNMPSend object is
created and as soon as it has received a trap data packet this object is
destroyed again. The classless function returns the trap data.
So while I handle the trap data in my app any incoming SNMP traps are
not handled because noone is listening on UDP port 162. Even if I do a
new call to RecvTrap() as soon as possible there is still a small
timeframe where a SNMP packet could arrive without being handled.
Is it just me who doesn't see the forest for the trees or is this a
faulty design in Synapse? Any comments are welcome. Thanks.
