Thanks for this - this did make the problem go away - however this is not a workable solution since this serializes every oid per input packet.
Does anyone know if there is a solution that does not require the overhead of serializing every oid in a packet? Have you reported this as a bug? If not can someone tell me how to raise this issue to the net-snmp code developers?

When using table_iterator, we found that it would mishandle multiple requests in ordered tables, if the requests were ordered "backwards" as you found. E.g., snmpget -v 2c -c public blue ifInOctets.43 ifInOctets.44 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.43 = Counter32: 483792666 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.44 = Counter32: 1470706044 vs. snmpget -v 2c -c public blue ifInOctets.44 ifInOctets.43 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.44 = Counter32: 1474004919 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.43 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID We found that injecting the netsnmp_get_serialize_handler resolved our problem. Again, I know nothing about the row_merge helper, so I don't know if injecting the serialize handler is a significant performance hit for you.
