Question

A sanitation department’s WAN Edges churn counters and path quality quickly, and frequent SNMP polls are loading the devices and still lagging. What is the strongest reason to move those Edges to streaming telemetry?

Accepted Answer

Push-based subscriptions reduce poll overhead and deliver fresher high-churn metrics than periodic GET/GETBULK cycles — Constant SNMP polls are like calling every truck every minute to ask where it is—radio stays busy and you still miss turns. Streaming telemetry lets the Edge push updates when things change. You get fresher numbers without hammering the box.

Answer

Streaming telemetry eliminates the need for any YANG models on the Edges

Answer

SNMP cannot measure WAN path quality under any circumstances

Answer

Telemetry only works for campus switches and cannot attach to WAN Edges
