Thank you all for you suggestions, I knew it that NANOG is a perfect place for those kind of questions. I will discuss your comments with my colleagues to see what would be the best solution. Once again thank you all for your valuable suggestions, I hope I will update you soon with some results/test and of course more questions :)

We have used ZenOss for a number of years at this scale (40k+ devices, at intervals of 1-5 minutes). It is possible to do if you have the hardware and storage performance to throw at it. We used OpenNMS before that and had to change due to scale. During that time we evaluated a number of the big name and big dollar solutions and none of them seemed to scale any better without significantly more hardware costs. That's not to say ZenOss is perfect, we have plenty of headaches too.

So we have used www.zenoss.org for many years. Individual collectors are easily handling snmp poll rates of 1.5k oids per second(450k per 5m). As zenoss core is open source Its probably worth a look for you.

Hi all,
recently I have been tasked with a NMS project. The idea is to pool about 20 OID's from 50k cable modems in less then 5 minutes (yes, I know it's a one million OID's). Before you say check out some very professional and expensive solutions I would like to know are there any alternatives like open source "snmp framework"? To be more descriptive many of you knows how big is the mess with snmp on cable modem. You always first perform snmp walk in order to discover interfaces and then read the values for those interfaces. As cable modem can bundle more DS channels, one time you can have one and other time you can have N+1 DS channels = interfaces. All in all I don't believe that there is something perfect out there when it comes to tracking huge number of cable modems so I would like to know is there any "snmp framework" that can be exteded and how did you (or would you) solve this problem.
Thank you.
