| Description | A control object to protect against duplication of control
commands. Over some transport/network protocols, it is
possible for SNMP messages to get duplicated. Such
duplication, if it occurred at just the wrong time could
cause serious disruption to the collection and retrieval of
accounting data, e.g., if a SNMP message setting
acctngFileCommand to 'swapToNewFile' were to be duplicated,
a whole file of accounting data could be lost.
To protect against such duplication, a management
application should retrieve the value of this object, and
include in the Set operation needing protection, a variable
binding which sets this object to the retrieved value. |
