Question with respect to the COEX draft.

Hi all,

While trying to implement this below in a JAVA stack, I
wonder why there are two different security models for
Community-Based.

I understand the need for two Message Processing Models for SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2, but the security model....

Below is the section in question.

> 5.  Message Processing Models and Security Models
>
>    In order to adapt SNMPv1 (and SNMPv2c) into the SNMP architecture,
>    the following models are defined in this document:
>
>        -  The SNMPv1 Message Processing Model
>
>        -  The SNMPv1 Community-Based Security Model
>
>    The following models are also described in this document:
>
>        -  The SNMPv2c Message Processing Model
>
>        -  The SNMPv2c Community-Based Security Model
[snip]
>           Similarly, the SNMPv1 Community-Based Security Model and the
>           SNMPv2c Community-Based Security Model are nearly identical,
>           and so are not discussed independently.  Differences between
>           these two models are also described as required.
