Abstract
Systems and methods for efficient storage of network management object identifiers are provided. Object identifiers such as SNMP MIB object identifiers are stored in a compressed form. In one embodiment, a single integer represents multiple elements of an object identifier where these elements are common to many identifiers. The redundancy inherent in a standard object identifier format is thereby greatly reduced. Large memory savings are provided in network management systems that employ many network management objects.
