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.'
