If you are requesting a single value, then there is no benefit.
The advantage of GetBulk (compared to simple GetNext) comes when you
are retrieving a sequence of values - for example, when walking a table.
Try comparing
snmpbulkget .... ifAdminStatus
vs
snmpwalk .... ifAdminStatus
If there are eight or nine rows in the table, then "snmpbulkget" will issue
a single GetBulk request, and receive a single response containing
all the relevant values.
In contrast, "snmpwalk" would need to send nine or ten GetNext
requests (with the same number of Response packets) to retrieve
the same information.
