Identical to netsnmp_oid_equals, except only the length up to len1 is compared. Functionally, this determines if in_name2 is equal or a subtree of in_name1

.PP
probe for engineID using RFC 5343 probing mechanisms Designed to be a callback for within a security model's probe_engineid hook. Since it's likely multiple security models won't have engineIDs to probe for then this function is a callback likely to be used by multiple future security models. E.G. both SSH and DTLS.
