[AGENT++] Using multiple snmp++ instances on the same machine and timeouts

[Hendrik-Willem van Zutphen]

Hi all,
I'm using the SNMP++ library to monitor multiple devices (and fill a cache
for use in a displaying application).
After some performance tests the decision was made to use multiple instances
of the SNMP class to be able to handle as much update requests as possible.
In the current situation we have 1 SNMP instance handling trap and trap
related requests and 17 "worker" SNMP instances for the other data. All the
requests we are doing are multi VB get and multi VB bulk gets.

When running the application I receive a lot of timeouts on requests done
(which will be requested again eventually). The machine is using at most 10%
CPU so nothing special there, is there an extra item needed when
constructing the class to be able to run multiple instances, is there
something else that I'm missing or is just the other side at fault (but
timeouts of 8 seconds are rather long for a machine that is doing nothing
but answering SNMP requests).

Thanks in advance,

Hendrik-Willem van Zutphen
