volatile state stalking - snmp traps service notifications

[Noah Leaman]

I have over 70,000 interfaces/ports (just the up/up ones) for which I 
could receive linkDown and linkUp traps for. And this is just a 
sampling of hosts on our network to pilot nagios to see if it can do 
what we want. Doesn't it seem a little crazy to have to deal with that 
many services even if they are passive? And this is just linkDown and 
linkUp. What about all other possible traps that could be received?
