This document describes five types of SNMP applications:-Applications which initiate SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class requests, called 'command generators.'-Applications which respond to SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class requests, called 'command responders.'-Applications which generate SNMP Notification-Class PDUs, called 'notification originators.'-Applications which receive SNMP Notification-Class PDUs, called 'notification receivers.'-Applications which forward SNMP messages, called 'proxy forwarders.' Levi, et. al. Standards Track [Page 2] RFC 3413 SNMP Applications December 2002 Note that there are no restrictions on which types of applications may be associated with a particular SNMP engine. For example, a single SNMP engine may, in fact, be associated with both command generator and command responder applications.
