[SNMP4J] SNMPv1 Walk

[Frank Fock]

Hi Mike,

A GET-NEXT only returns with an exception (SNMPv2c or SNMPv3)
or error (SNMPv1) if there are no more objects in a MIB view.

A GET-NEXT skips non-existant variables or variables outside
the current view.

The question is now what exact behavior do you encounter with
which management software and what agent (software).

Best regards,
Frank
