[snmp] Large Response Varbinds

Dear Birgit,
I' am sorry for the confusion. I guess The agent limits its response
With further investigation with Wireshark Network Analyzer, I noticed 
that the device sends back 1900 bytes of response.
When tested with a device simulator,  I am  able to receive 10k bytes of 
data in a single GetBulk

Since the device sends back 1900 bytes (incl. the packet headers),
I am now doubtful whether the Agent is limiting or I am missing anything 
in capturing the packets through my adapter

Thanks for your support
