Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol
RFC 2272, “Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 1998 by J. Case, D. Harrington, R. Presuhn, B. Wijnen. It obsoletes RFC 2262. It has been obsoleted by RFC 2572 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Message Processing and Dispatching for SNMP messages within the SNMP architecture [RFC2271]. It defines the procedures for dispatching potentially multiple versions of SNMP messages to the proper SNMP Message Processing Models, and for dispatching PDUs to SNMP applications. This document also describes one Message Processing Model - the SNMPv3 Message Processing Model. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
