Re: A flurry of notifications at startup

No, by default SNMP is over UDP, which is connectionless. Trying to
send a UDP packet might throw or return an error if there's no network
interface to send it out on, or might do so pre-sending it if you try
to resolve a nonexistant name, but if a UDP packet gets out onto the
network it's gone and the agent won't know it didn't reach its
destination. If one of the former two occurs, it's up to the agent
software to do whatever it feels like with that information.
