snmpwalk timeout

[Feroz <fer...@gm...>]

Hi,
We are using net-snmp 5.8.
We have Agent-SubAgent model.

For a given MIB, our container_load function takes 2 seconds, but still the
snmpwalk (v2) command times out with default values (5 retries with 1 sec
delay between each retry).

My question is, why does it time out, though the container_load function
returns the data in 2sec, we still have another 4 seconds.
We should have got the response in the 3rd to 5th retry.

If I increase the timeout value in snmpwalk command with "-t 3", it works
fine.
