Proxy SNMP recommendation

Question

Dear All,

I'm currently facing an issue with the level of SNMP traffic accross our global network where different SNMP agents are located on different subnet. 
A proxy SNMP is now required to serve as a single point of contact to manage the distributed network of SNMP agents.

I'm looking for an SNMP proxy product/vendor that works fine with  Orion 7.1. Your recommendations will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Daniel

I know this is an old post but I'm interested if you found anything. I'm looking for a proxy to monitor equipment in an isolated network and would appreciate any suggestions you may have

Are you looking at a traffic problem, or a routing problem (i.e. multiple RFC-1918 sites using overlapping space)?  SW is really pretty light in its traffic requirements, so a proxy isn't really going to save you much.

However, a proxy may be useful if you have a number of other applications which are polling the same devices over and over.  It's not clear how you arrived at a proxy as the solution to your problem.
