I am working with net-snmp 5.7.3, and will be using several Sub-Agents in
my project, with fairly large amounts of data.  I have noted that issuing a
'snmpbulkwalk' to Master Agent results in this broken down into GETNEXT
requests to the Sub-Agent.  This results in a lot of network traffic, as
well as a tremendous number of context switches (everything running on same
host).

Is there support in the Sub-Agent to accept GETBULK requests from the
Master?  I have looked at the code, their appears to be some infrastructure
in place, but it is not clear to me if it is fully functional.

More so, is there a means to configure the Master to send GETBULK requests
to the Sub-Agent?

If there is no support at the current time, are their any guidelines on how
I might add this functionality myself?

Thanks,

tom
