[SNMP4J] Max string length passed to OctetString

[Michael Shaw]

Thanks Frank,

I get a timeout when trying to perform an SNMP GET on anything > 1400
bytes (number of bytes passed to OctetString, not including the encoding
overhead) which happens to be close in size to an Ethernet frame. I'm
going to use Ethereal to see what's going on across the wire.

Hello Mike,

Within the application, the length is limited
to 2^31-1 and by your system's memory.
On the wire 65535 is the absolute upper limit
when using UDP (the real limit depends on the
agent/manager applications and the size of the
objects included in the same PDU).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
