CMIP services application program makes supporting the cancel get operation trivial for agents to implement by treating it as an unconfirmed request from the agent's viewpoint. Whenever CMIP services receives an m-CancelGet it takes care of cancelling the get and responding to the m-CancelGet and sending the operationCancelled ROER. Agents may either continue to respond to the get as if the cancel get had not been received (and CMIP services discards these responses) or agents may abort their get and send an operationCancelled error. Because of this design, agents are not allowed to respond to the m-CancelGet indication, and they receive this error if they do.
