Hi, Lispers

After one and a half year since I started this project (0.01 on May 2007, 1.2 on Oct 2007), I'm glad to release cl-net-snmp 3.0 today, the pure-lisp implementation of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP, RFC 2271).

From this release, I throw out the ZEBU LALR parser and write a simple ASN.1 compiler (based on LispWorks parsergen) to generate Lisp code from ASN.1 MIB files, then use ASDF to load them directly. Any ASN.1 Object Identifier value are treated as a Lisp variable.

This project is part of my big plan: write a new system administration platform (like HP OpenView) completely in Common Lisp.

• Full SNMP protocol support (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3)
• Support MIB and ASN.1 object id names
• Fast BER encode/decode based on CLOS
• UDP retransmit support
• [LispWorks] Simple SNMP Server
• [LispWorks] GUI MIB Browser
