It uses the approach outlined in RFC 3414, section 4 "Discovery". It actually sends the same request two or three times, in the sure and certain expectation that the first one(s) will fail. But the error reports that are returned from such failures will include the missing information (engineID and boot time/count) Try running snmpget -d .... or snmpget -Ddump .... to watch what goes on.
