I'd think that you'd know your own document better than someone who has really read it only about once. Sheesh! Section 1.5.1 of your document states: When an SNMP message contains a payload which expects a response (those messages that contain a Confirmed Class PDU [RFC2571]), then the receiver of such messages is authoritative. And just to help you out a bit more, RFC2571 section 2.8, point 6: 6) Confirmed Class: The Confirmed Class contains all protocol operations which cause the receiving SNMP engine to send back a response. For example, RFC 1905 defines the following operations for the Confirmed Class: GetRequest-PDU, GetNextRequest-PDU, GetBulkRequest-PDU, SetRequest-PDU, and InformRequest-PDU. -- Wes Hardaker Network Associates Laboratories
