msgMaxSize in SNMPv3

[<bi...@we...>]

Dear all,

When I send a SNMPv3 message, our stack sets the msgMaxSize field to 1300
bytes. 

I was under the impression that the agent should respect this number and
make sure the size of the response does not exceed this number.
Is that correct?

However, it does not happen in the net-snmp stack. It tries to send 4798
bytes that of course never receive my end.

Thanks,
  Birgit

ps When responding, please reply to me personally as well.
