Hi!

NetSNMP does not support multicast addresses. A valid use could be for
snmptrapd to listen to a multicast address. I have a patch for this:

 https://github.com/vincentbernat/net-snmp/compare/feature/snmptrapd-multicast

The patch is quite ugly since it modifies snmptrapd while it should
modify the transport logic but it is only here for demonstration
purpose. The code should be moved in snmpUDPIPv4BaseDomain.c.

Would such a feature acceptable for NetSNMP? I have googled a bit and
found an answer from Wes saying no:

Is the answer still actual?
