Net-SNMP implements the [[transport|transports]] over which SNMP messages can be sent using a pluggable architecture. This architecture defines hooks that allow implemented transports to handle opening, sending and receiving packets through "something or other". The "something or other" can be pretty much anything and Net-SNMP has support for IPv4/UDP, IPv6/TCP, UnixDomain Sockets, IPX, and internal pipe()s to name just a few of the diverse examples. | Net-SNMP implements the [[transport|transports]] over which SNMP messages can be sent using a pluggable architecture.
