Explanation

SNMPv2 introduced these two key features to improve efficiency when retrieving large datasets: GetBulk – Designed to fetch multiple rows of data in a single request, reducing the need for repeated GetNext operations. This is especially useful for retrieving large tables (e.g., ARP tables, routing tables). Replaces multiple GetNext requests with one efficient bulk operation. Inform – While primarily used for manager-to-manager notifications, it can also carry larger data payloads compared to SNMPv1 traps, making it useful for structured data transfers.
