Hi,

According to the following synopsis

https://www.akamai.com/us/en/multimedia/documents/state-of-the-internet/snmp-reflector-attacks-threat-advisory.pdf


The remote SNMP daemon is responding with a large amount of data to a
'GETBULK' request with a larger than normal value for 'max-repetitions'. A
remote attacker can use this SNMP server to conduct a reflected distributed
denial of service attack on an arbitrary remote host.


What is the actual ’max-repetitions'  of NET-SNMP  version 5.7.1  ?
Is this value the same for version 5.8.x ?


Thanks,
Simon
