4.1.4. The GetResponse-PDU

The form of the GetResponse-PDU is identical to that of the GetRequest-PDU except for the indication of the PDU type. In the ASN.1 language:

                  GetResponse-PDU ::=
                      [2]
                          IMPLICIT SEQUENCE {
                              request-id
                                  RequestID,

                              error-status
                                  ErrorStatus,

                              error-index
                                  ErrorIndex,

                              variable-bindings
                                  VarBindList
                          }

The GetResponse-PDU is generated by a protocol entity only upon receipt of the GetRequest-PDU, GetNextRequest-PDU, or SetRequest-PDU, as described elsewhere in this document.

Upon receipt of the GetResponse-PDU, the receiving protocol entity presents its contents to its SNMP application entity.
