Explanation
A trap is an event notification that is sent to the SNMP trap manager
and received from the Media Gateway Processor, Layer 2 Switching
Processor, or RTCP Monitor (VisAbility).
Some traps are determined to be an alarm. If determined to be an
alarm they are sent to an appropriate alarm management platform as
determined by the ossinfo file.
