Method and device for the transfer of snmp messages over udp with compression of periodically repeating sequences
First Claim
1. Method for the transfer over UDP (User Datagram Protocol) of messages incorporating a payload (O1D), characterised in that it comprises the step of submitting at least said payload to a compression step (302, 104, 204) based on the recognition of sequences that periodically appear in the messages.

Abstract
The invention concerns the transfer of messages using an UDP transport. A typical example is offered by the SNMP messages, used to perform the communication (C1, C2) between manager units (M, M′) and agent units (A, A′) within a system for the management of data communication networks, such as internet. The payload of messages and preferably the messages as a whole shall undergo a compression operation based on the recognition of sequences that periodically appear in the message.
