Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol
RFC 3412, “Message Processing and Dispatching for the Simple Network Management Protocol”, is an Internet Standard document published in December 2002 by J. Case, D. Harrington, R. Presuhn, B. Wijnen. It obsoletes RFC 2572. It has since been updated by RFC 5590. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Message Processing and Dispatching for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages within the SNMP architecture. 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. This document obsoletes RFC 2572. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
