[SNMP4J] possible bug in org.snmp4j.agent.mo.snmp.NotificationOriginatorImpl

Hi Frank,

I have two notification entries. One with only one variable binding, the
other notification have 6. Both notifications are sent to the same
target address.


The expected result is: when I send the notification - ID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.18657.10.0.1 (type 1 , with 1 variable binding), only one
trap should be sent out, and when I send the notification - ID
1.3.6.1.4.1.18657.10.0.2 (type 2, with 6 variable bindings), only one
notification should be sent out.

Currently two identical type 1 notifications and two identical type 2
notifications are sent to the target address.

thanks and regards,
yuan

Hi Yuan,

Ok, but that is how it is supposed to work.
What number of traps do you expect and why?

Best regards,
Frank
