SNMP v3 - Authentication - Report PDU/Trap

hi,

RFC 3414, section 3.2 (Processing an Incoming SNMP Message), point no. 6
says as follows :

....
....

If the authentication module returns failure, then the message
       cannot be trusted, so the usmStatsWrongDigests counter is
       incremented and an error indication (authenticationFailure)
       together with the OID and value of the incremented counter is
       returned to the calling module.

....

....

In the above statement, does 'error indication' means sending the 'report
pdu' or the 'authentication failure trap' to the calling module?

My understanding is sending the report pdu only.

Can you please clarify at the earliest.

Thanks,
Dev.
