Sparse notes on major existing problems/plans
* SMI issues remained include:
1) multiple OID registration should be posible for
customizing Managed Objects classes
2) in MIBVIEW object model: MIB module name, MIB object
name and object instance should be clearly separated.
Dedicated, simple API for table cells mangling should be
provided.
* Walking over VACM shadowed OIDs is painfully slow
* Notification filtering (RFC3413) not implemented.
* MsgAndPduDispatcher should use TransportDispatcher jobs interface
to handle SNMPv3 handshake
* Implement prettyIn value format parser at TC
* Disallow SNMP access to USM objects
* Maybe MibInstrumentationController should be async what
implies callback function interface.
* Re-work ACL to get rid of linear search there
* Implement partial context name match at isAccessAllowed()
* Sort out whether pyasn1 objects should probably have either clone() or
subtype() methods.
* Review PDU components coercion code at proxy/rfc2576
* TextualConvention subclassing order now depends upon DisplayHint
clause presense in MIB definition (for useful prettyIn/Out()). Maybe
this should be re-worked.
* exclude SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB from view for better security
* re-design something to get rid of an ugly hack coercing MIB values into
SNMP message header as it has incompatible constraints set
* Implement OID prefix to MIB module mapping then dynamic MIB modules
loading on OID to MIB symbol resolution
* Implement TCP transport support
* Rework UNIX sockets transport to make it STREAM-type.
* The get-first/get-last operations of pysnmp.smi.rfc1902.ObjectIdentity()
may need a means to deal only with specific node types.
* redesign proto.errind.ErrorIndication
* redesign PYSNMP MIB tables to better handle optional values (keys)
* add RowStatus checks when reading MIB tables (LCD)
* Disallow empty SET value reaching scalar MIB object
* Figure out why .getUnitis() are not propagated from SNMPv2-SMI::ObjectType to response object
* Extent pysmi/mibdump tool to produce MIB instances from ASN.1 MIBs
* Write a tool that parses iana-private-enterprise numbers into a pysnmp MIB instance
* Make mibdump producing OID->MIB indices in form of pysnmp MIB instance and JSON
* Write a helper function/module based on pysnmp that reports device details based on SNMP data.
In particular: description, vendor ID/name (sysObjectID), implemented MIBs (sysORTable)
