[SNMP4J] Determining the source of a timeout

[Frank Fock]

Hi Rodney,

The way you solved the problem is the recommended one.
SNMP4J cannot return the peer address of a timed out
request, because it simply cannot know it. The peer
address is NOT equal to the target address!
Both addresses almost always have a different transport
port and in some cases even have a different IP address
(for example for systems with multiple IP addresses).

Best regards,
Frank
