37Another major added feature of this module over Net::SNMP is automatic
38rate-adjustments: Net::SNMP is so slow that firing a few thousand
39requests can cause many timeouts simply because Net::SNMP cannot process
40the replies in time. This module automatically adapts the send rate to
41avoid false timeouts caused by slow reply processing.

83Increasing C<$MAX_OUTSTANDING> will not automatically use the
84extra request slots. To increase C<$MAX_OUTSTANDING> and make
85C<AnyEvent::SNMP> make use of the extra parallelity, call
86C<AnyEvent::SNMP::set_max_outstanding> with the new value, e.g.:
87

90Although due to the dynamic adjustment, this might have little lasting
91effect.
