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