  • RFC4789 (new transport, simple and quite well contained)

• Language bindings
  • C++

• New testing framework
  • C/Perl i.s.o. shell scripts
  • make it possible to compile code for testing
  • check an agent/subagent against some kind of protocol test suite
  • automatic memory leak checking

• pre-compiled MIBs for faster loading

• device simulation framework. read in the output of a snmpwalk of a device, then simulate it.
