Hi Florian,

I have been testing an application using the driver from Sheng Peng since
it does provide write capabilities via SNMP. However, I have noticed that
during my testing the on a Linux-x86 64-bit machine running under EPICS
R3.14.12.2 that the soft IOC does use more and more memory over time indicating
a possible memory leak. However, I have not confirmed the source of the problem
at this time. I am trying to find some time to test the one from John Priller
but as of yet have not been able to.

My application is providing data from rack mounted APC power strips. In the
next few weeks I intend on finding some time to set up a test using John's 
driver though which Eric Norume has provided updates for.

Subject: SNMP device support

Dear all,

for our low voltage power supply, we are thinking about using the Wiener 
MPod which is controlled via SNMP.
 From Wiener I know that there are some implementations for EPICS:
- The original devSNMP from DESY
http://www-mks2.desy.de/content/e4/e40/e41/e12212/index_ger.html
- An extension of the first one from John Priller
http://groups.nscl.msu.edu/controls/
- and a third one from Sheng Peng from Diamond light source
http://controls.diamond.ac.uk/downloads/misc/snmp.tgz

Is there any great difference in those device supports? Especially 
between the second and third one?
Are there any recommendation which one to use?

Best regards,
Florian
