Q: Snmp++ traps

if I'm not completly wrong, SNMPv2 Traps don't have the agent_addr value
defined, as any Oid/value pair that is needed by the manager can be sent
inside the variable binding list of the trap pdu.

There are two possibilities how to get the address of the agent who sent
the trap:

- The manager receives a Target object with the Pdu object that contains
the address of the host sending the trap.

- You can define your own trap type that contains the address of the
agent in the variable binding list of the trap.

Best regards,
