ASN.1 is pretty cool, but I've been wondering are there that
many ISPs which allow external SNMP access to their equipment?
SNMP is a UDP management protocol, and even under the best of
conditions, accepting packets from out of the blue isn't a good
idea.
I guess we will find out in the next few hours (while many
ISP network engineers are stuck in airports travelling back
home).
