The facts, as stated, are simply not true.
SNMPv3 is ported and supported for both VxWorks and pSOS+. Prior to the
merger of Wind River and Integrated Systems (which owned Epilogue),
there was no SNMPv3 solution for VxWorks. But it is available today.
SNMPv3 has been available for pSOS+ for as long as Epilogue had an
SNMPv3 solution (about 18 months now).
