Snmp Manager and asynchronous traps.

I tested with the receive_trap example and a modified (for-loop around
snmp.trap(...)) snmpTraps example and could send  700 Traps in ~ 8
seconds. All of them where received. But when I tried to send 1000 Traps
in a burst some of the traps were dropped by the kernel (The kernel
receive queue for UDP seems to be 64KB on Linux). Maybe you're seeing
the same "problem".

Best regards,
