Description

The query_DPI_port() routine is used by a DPI client to determine the TCP port number that is associated with the DPI. This port number is needed to connect() to the SNMP agent. The port number is obtained through an SNMP GET request.

Return Values

An integer representing the TCP port number is returned if successful; a -1 is returned if the port cannot be determined.
