Info needed on informs from applications

Hello all,

   We are using the mib2c.notify.conf to to generate the code for the
inform/trap.. The actual function which is sending the trap is *send_v2trap.
*Out intent is to send a Inform to the Trap/Inform receiver.
   So we linked the generated .shared object  to our application. Our app
checks for the condition for the inform, and if the condition is true it
calls the function say "*send_chassisPowerFailureTrap_trap*", which in turn
will call *send_v2trap*.


 Now we read in the man page of snmp_trap_api as below

        send_v2trap() uses the supplied list of variable bindings to  form
 an  SNMPv2  trap,  which  is  sent  to
       SNMPv2-capable  sinks  on  the  configured  list. * An equivalent
INFORM is sent to the configuredq  list of*
*       inform sinks*.  Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.


 So, will the Net-snmp agent send the Inform PDU automatically to the inform
sink receiver. ? If yes, then will it also perform the retry and queing
mechanisms .


Thanks
