what actions does ping interval parameter for subagnet affect?

Hello!

I wrote a simple subagent for test purpose.

I set ping interval to different values  1 and 100. But the subagent waits
for master reconnection the same time. Why does ping interval not affect
changing that parameter?

The tests case:

1. run snmpd, snmptrapd.

2. set ping interval to 100, compile and run my own subagent

3. when first trap is sent I kill snmpd

Expectation: subagent should hang up for 100 sec.

But it waits for a few seconds! why?

int main()
{
 netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_ROLE,
TRUE);
 netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_DONT_PERSIST_STATE, TRUE);
 netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL, 100);

 netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_X_SOCKET,
"udp:localhost:705");

 SOCK_STARTUP;//for win

 init_agent("event_example");
 init_snmp("event_example");
 netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL, 100);

 send_trap(Object());// inside send_v2trap() is called

 sleep(5);//kill master agent while this process sleeps

//I expected that my subagent waits for 100 sec then it completes the work

 send_trap(Object());// inside send_v2trap() is called

 snmp_shutdown("event_example");
 SOCK_CLEANUP;//for win
 return 0;
}
