	Title		: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Context EngineID Discovery
	Author(s)	: J. Schoenwaelder

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version three (SNMPv3)
requires that an application knows the identifier (snmpEngineID) of
the remote SNMP protocol engine in order to retrieve or manipulate
objects maintained on the remote SNMP entity.

This document introduces a well-known localEngineID and a discovery
mechanism which can be used to learn the snmpEngineID of a remote
SNMP protocol engine.  The proposed mechanism is independent of the
features provided by SNMP security models and may also be used by
other protocol interfaces providing access to managed objects.

This document updates RFC 3411.
