Yes. The only thing that is missing are concrete values for the TDomain and appropriate TCs which define the address formats. This is being worked on. The latest document is available at: Discussions take place on the mailing list. > In that case how do you handle the agent-addr field of the > trap v1 PDU? (agent-addr is NetworkAddress which is IpAddress > which is OCTET STRING (SIZE(4)) which doesn’t have enough room > for an IP v6 address). This not only applies to IPv6 but also to other non-IPv4 transports. In general, agent-addr is broken and the second version of the protocol operations use a trap format which does not have the agent-addr field anymore.
