If you can control the client side, it should be possible to increase the timeout value to compensate. But if other people will be querying your system, that's not really a scalable solution. > If that is a get next request, can I make them come back again with the same > OID so that I will move on once the data is ready? That's how the Net-SNMP client tools work, yes. They'll make the request, and if they don't receive an answer within a reasonable time, they'll try again. Only when a certain number of retries have timed out will they report failure. Try "snmpgetnext -d ....." to see this happening. But a typical setup is something like 3 retries with a 5s timeout. So a 30s processing overhead wouldn't respond in time. Q: Is this a single value that you're trying to retrieve, or a set of related values? (e.g. a table). If multiple, is the 30s processing a one-off overhead, or incurred for each individual value?
