[SNMP4J] snmp4j timeouts even when response is received

[Frank Fock]

Creating a new Snmp object for each request might cause this behavior.
Do you close it? Is the application multi-threaded?
You should use only one Snmp instance, opening closing it for each request
has a huge overhead!

Best regards,
Frank

Most of the gets go through fine but we do see these timeouts around 10 times in an hour (out of approximately 3000 snmp get/set requests/hour).

>>> We see timeouts in snmp4j intermittently for snmp get requests even though the response is received well within the timeout period. When debug is turned on, I see messages like "Received response that cannot be matched to any outstanding request, address...". The timeout set is 8 seconds and the actual response is received within a few milliseconds (as seen in snmp4j logs). The snmp4j version is 1.11. Has anyone seen this problem ?
