[SNMP4J] Does GETBULK for TableUtils.getTable() actually work?

[Frank Fock]

Hi Rodger,

TableUtils.getTable cannot be used to do a walk on a subtree.
As the name suggests, the getTable() method returns a table.
The OID list must contain column object identifiers.
Otherwise results are undefined (most likely empty).

Best regards,
Frank
