+SNMP Context
+============
+
+Calls to high-level Applications API consume SNMP Context
+configuration object on input. The shortcut class described in
+this section convey this MIB instance identification information
+to SNMP PDU for further communication to peer SNMP engine
+(:RFC:`3411#section-4.1`).
+
+.. note::
+
+ SNMP context is only defined within SNMPv3 framework. For SNMPv1/v2c
+ architecture integration :RFC:`2576#section-5.1` introduces
+ interoperability aid which is available through
+ :py:class:`~pysnmp.hlapi.CommunityData`.
