[SNMP4J] Fw: Response for original request after first retransmission discarded

[jones vinu]

Hi Frank,

We have a case in snmpv3 request where we receive a response for the first request after we have send the first retries. Our timeout for the first request is 8 sec we receive the response after 8 sec for this request hence we discard this message(msgID could not be found in the log). Is this an excepted behavior or the response after the first retries still be processed? 

Debug log

Response for first request. We get the response after the second retry is sent so the cache is overridden with the first retry msg. PDUHandle is the key in the map and the retries use the same PDU handle for all retries. This explains the msgID could not be found in the cache and the NoError warnings.
