What is an advantage of network telemetry over SNMP pulls?

Network telemetry is a technology that allows network devices to push data to a collector in real time, rather than waiting for the collector to pull data from them. This improves the efficiency and accuracy of data collection, and enables the monitoring of a large number of network devices. SNMP, on the other hand, is a protocol that uses a pull model, where the collector requests data from the devices periodically. This can cause delays, gaps, and overhead in data collection, and limit the scalability of network monitoring. Therefore, network telemetry has an advantage over SNMP pulls in terms of scalability. References:
