[SNMP4J] Serializing a session

[Frank Fock]

Hi Kevin,

Are you thinking about a RMI-TransportMapping? A SNMP4J Snmp instance
cannot be serialized because the contained TransportMappings use local 
resources
like UDP or TCP ports. But you may implement a RMITransportMapping
that sends/receives SNMP messages across a RMI over TCP tunnel.
But I do not see why this could be advantageous

Best regards,
Frank
