[snmp] Large Response Varbinds

[Birgit Arkesteijn]

Hi Krithinarayanan,

Which version of SNMP are you using?

Have a look at AbstractSnmpContext.setMaxRecvSize(int no), this might 
help you. The reason I say "might" is because the SNMP server might 
decide to reduce the response based on it's own configuration.

Depending on the SNMP version:
- in SNMPv3 this 'max size' is sent as part of the request info
- the server might send a SNMP_ERR_TOOBIG to indicate it reduced its 
response

If the limitation is due to the server, you might have no alternative 
then to split up the GetBulk request.

As to the network fragmentation, as far as I know this is not accessible 
in the Java VM.

Hopefully the above helps.

Cheers, Birgit
