/**
 * This interface is provided to enable fine customization of the SNMP
 * agent behaviour.
 *
 * <p>You will not need to implement this interface except if your agent
 * needs extra customization requiring some contextual information.</p>
 *
 * <p>If an SnmpUserDataFactory is set on the SnmpAdaptorServer, then a new
 * object containing user-data will be allocated through this factory
 * for each incoming request. This object will be passed along to
 * the SnmpMibAgent within SnmpMibRequest objects. By default, no
 * SnmpUserDataFactory is set on the SnmpAdaptorServer, and the contextual
 * object passed to SnmpMibAgent is null.</p>
 *
 * <p>You can use this feature to obtain on contextual information
 * (such as community string etc...) or to implement a caching
 * mechanism, or for whatever purpose might be required by your specific
 * agent implementation.</p>
 *
 * <p>The sequence allocateUserData() / releaseUserData() can
 * also be used to implement a caching mechanism:
 * <ul>
 * <li>allocateUserData() could be used to allocate
 *         some cache space,</li>
 * <li>and releaseUserData() could be used to flush it.
 * </ul>
