This document describes the ALG (Application Level Gateway) for the
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) by which IP (Internet
Protocol) addresses in the payload of SNMP packets are statically
mapped from one group to another.  The SNMP ALG is a specific case of
an Application Level Gateway as described in RFC 2663.
 
An SNMP ALG allows network management stations to manage multiple
networks that use conflicting IP addresses.  This can be important in
environments where there is a need to use SNMP with NAT (Network
Address Translator) in order to manage several potentially overlapping
addressing realms.
 
This document includes a detailed description of the requirements
and limitations for an implementation of an SNMP Application Level
Gateway.  It also discusses other approaches to exchange SNMP packets
across conflicting addressing realms.

This document is a product of the Network Address Translators Working
Group of the IETF.
