+ SNMP has been improved to handle IPv6. The agent can
+ handle dual stack IPv4 + IPv6, but not yet the manager.
+ The documentation also still lags behind... If you do

+ between the bitlist (internal) representation and bitstring
+ (external) when the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask objects are accessed. </p>
