Yes - but that's the communication between the master agent and the subagent.
The communication between the initial client and the master agent will
typically be SNMP-over-UDP.

But it doesn't actually matter whether the traffic is over TCP, UDP,
or carrier pigeon.
What's important is whether the time taken to calculate the values is
longer than a typical client retry timeout.

An alternative approach is to some (or all) of the calculations in the
background on a regular basis (perhaps in a separate process), so that
the necessary information is immediately available for processing a
request.
