[AGENT++] notification-log-mib questions

Hi everybody,

while working with the agentx master demo I tested the notification- 
log-mib.

First, I found, that an target address (IPv6) is not right handled!
	Only 4 bytes are used instead of 16?

Second, for each notify target, an row is created at the nlmNotifyTable.
	There is no new information if each address from the  
targetAddressTable is stored at the nlmNotifyTable again.
	The RFC says, the the source Address should be stored, not the  
destination!

What I expected was, that one notification which occurs at the snmp  
agent will be stored, independent of the count of targets to deliver  
it as traps or informs.
In worst case, it will only stored, but not delivered (and has to be  
polled by NMS from the nlmNotifyTable)

Only an snmptrapd (trap client) has to write the source address of the  
trap to distinguish the same trap from different agents.
That is the way, net-snmp implements it.


What is your opinion about that?

Whit kind regards,

Claus
