Hello,

Good Question! Here's the answer:
We preserve the original agent address in the SNMP Trap PDU.
SNMP Trap PDU:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
| enterprise | agent | generic | specific | time | variable |
| ID | addr | trap type | trap type | stamp | bindings . . |
---------------------------------------------------------------------
An SNMP Trap PDU gets carried as payload in a UDP PDU.

A management station should look at the agent address in the
SNMP Trap PDU (not the UDP packet header) to determine what
agent the trap came from.
