1.  Overview

   This document describes five types of SNMP applications:

     - Applications which initiate SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class
       requests, called 'command generators.'
     - Applications which respond to SNMP Read-Class, and/or Write-Class
       requests, called 'command responders.'
     - Applications which generate SNMP Notification-Class PDUs, called
       'notification originators.'
     - Applications which receive SNMP Notification-Class PDUs, called
       'notification receivers.'
     - Applications which forward SNMP messages, called 'proxy
       forwarders.'
