Re: Re: Digi's treatment of Rabbit products

I think that the challenge with SNMP would be to figure out whether it makes more sense to update the existing implementation, or to try porting an Open Source SNMPv3 stack to the Rabbit,

My guess is that a port is a better choice, but would require a significant amount of time to accomplish.  I imagine there's already a lot of the encryption code present in the libraries from SSL/TLS and WPA/WPA2 for Wi-Fi connections.

Is there enough demand for SNMPv3 on the Rabbit?  I don't know.  I would highly recommend that anyone who wants it get in touch with Digi about it.  Let them know who you are, how much product you're buying or would buy if SNMPv3 is available, what parts you'd use and how much you'd pay to have it developed.  If enough people want it then it might happen.

Keep in mind that this would be for Dynamic C 10 (Rabbit 4000/5000/6000) only.  Porting something like SNMPv3 will be much easier on that platform than DC 9.
