- preetamjinka 5y agoI worked on a SNMP Go package many years ago [0] and it was really fun learning about ASN.1 and figuring out how to write encoders and decoders for various types. [0] https://github.com/Cistern/snmp https://github.com/Cistern/snmp
- userbinator 5y agoThe cellular network standards (GSM/xG) use it heavily too.
- p_l 5y agoAll of OSI stack used ASN.1 extensively, something that would have made building protocol implementations much easier than text-based IETF style. SNMP is, IIRC, inspired by much more capable CMI which was part of OSI stack of protocols and is still used in some high end WAN network gear for monitoring and control (whereas "write" aspects of SNMP have mostly disappeared)
