Description: A pointer to a row in RMON2's trapDestTable that was created by the management station that defined this rule. Any extremeSmartTraps generated by this agent due to this rule will be sent to the trapDestCommunity/ trapDestAddress and will include trapDestOwner specified by this trapDestTable entry.

This also allows a manager to identify if the rule was defined by itself, or by another (possibly older) instance of the management server process. The manager should initiate a poll only for traps received which indicate its own rules.

Subprocesses within a single manager might also uniquely create their own entries within trapDestTable using different trapDestOwner strings: when a trap is received, the manager can authenticate if the trap was generated due to one of its rules and route the notification to the appropriate subprocess.
