All Known Implementing Classes:

TcpTransportImpl

public interface SnmpTransportProvider

Interface that represents a transport connection between the SNMP manager and SNMP agent. Users who want to provide their own transport mechanism should implement this interface and provide implementation for their transport protocol and plug it in the transport provider framework.

Method Summary

void	close() Closes the transport interface after communication is over.
void	open(ProtocolOptions options) Opens the transport interface over which the data is sent/received.
int	read(SnmpTransportPacket buf) Receive data from the peer over the transport interface.
void	write(SnmpTransportPacket buf) Sends data to the peer over the transport interface.
