    Subject: Applet acting as a server.

    Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1998 10:06:41 +0200

We are developing a Java applet that makes use of the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
The applet originates from a web-server located in the remote host. The J=
ava
applet then has to communicate with a SNMP agent that is also located in =
the
remote host. This communication consists of either a polling mechanism or=
a
trap mechanism.
In order to receive trap messages from the SNMP agent the applet has to a=
ct
as a server using port number 162. However, it appeares that applets (by
using browsers) are not allowed to do this. Is it true that Java applets =
are
not allowed to open any DatagramSocket using port numbers beneath 1024?
If this is so, why not? And is there a solution to this problem?

Kind regards,
