Abstract

   This document describes the Message Processing and Dispatching for
   Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages within the SNMP
   architecture.  It defines the procedures for dispatching potentially
   multiple versions of SNMP messages to the proper SNMP Message
   Processing Models, and for dispatching PDUs to SNMP applications.
   This document also describes one Message Processing Model - the
   SNMPv3 Message Processing Model.  This document obsoletes RFC 2572.
