The main agent only tries to handle multiple requests at a time when it's safe to do so (IE, when it's not a SET and there are no outstanding SETs). I'm pretty sure you can turn off the feature too, but it's likely a compile-time #define statement somewhere (I forget where; search agent/*.c).

What's controlling the simplex connection? How come the code itself isn't blocking on that? There is no threading going on in the Net-SNMP agent. There is a very special mechanism by which a submodule has to tell the parent that it's ok to continue. If the submodule code is already blocking, you won't run into your issue in the first place. -- Wes Hardaker Cobham Analytic Solutions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list Net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
