[SNMP4J] Agent address in SNMPv2

[Gibbons, Sean]

I think it may have been removed for SNMPv2 because SNMPv2 uses a more
universal format, rather than SNMPv1 which has a format for regular SNMP
gets/sets and one for traps.  I guess if the agent IP address is
important, it can be sent as a variable binding in the SNMPv2 trap
message.

Hi,

Sorry guys, there is an AgentIP
http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_SNMPVersion1SNMPv1MessageFormat-3.htm
but only in SNMPv1 trap PDU. You even have the function in PDUv1.
setAgentAddress.
I thought that it also exist in SNMPv2. 
 
Anybody knows why it was removed from the PDU in SNMPv2 ? May be
security issues, so that the real peer address would be only valid agent
IP ?
 
Thanks,
Pavel
