Thanks for your quick response. If you are saying growing differences ... the way i implemented can also be a potential issue ... i have multiple components in same jvm trying to send/receive snmp requests (new snmp instance for each component) to same server at random times and they can conflict too .... as usm model is implemented as a singleton can there be a possible conflicts in times and misbehaviour that i'm seeing ?
if that is the case ... can you suggest any implementation to work around this?
