Much as for any other client/server arrangement. So if the original request went: a.b.c.d port N -> w.x.y.z port 161 then the response will go: w.x.y.z port 161 -> a.b.c.d port N > And during the GET-RESPONSE sent from SNMP Agent to SNMP > Manager--- Who is the Server and who is the Client? The client is the manager - the agent is the server. Think of this as a combined request/response *pair*, not of the two packets as independent requests. This is exactly the same model as (e.g.) a web browser and web server.
