Instead, UDP continuously sends datagrams to the recipient whether they receive them or not. UDP is a connectionless protocol that works like the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) but assumes that error-checking and recovery services are not required. Typically, the SNMP protocol is implemented using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). It is an application layer protocol in the OSI model framework. SNMP provides a common mechanism for network devices to relay management information within single and multi-vendor LAN or WAN environments.

The SNMP protocol is embedded in multiple local devices such as routers, switches, servers, firewalls, and wireless access points accessible using their IP address. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a networking protocol used for the management and monitoring of network-connected devices in Internet Protocol networks.
