Inform Response Handling When agent is in in SNMPv3 Mode.

Hi All,
    Inform response/Get or set Request will be handled as explained 
below in SNMPv3 Mode.
   
    Take the latest session(snmp_read() API) and and check if FD is set 
or not if FD is set then *receive the response*, process the 
packet,verify the Msg id and request id , if it Matches process it 
further and take appropriate action.

   
    Problem is that if multiple informs(say minimum 2) are sent and 
Agent has not received response for the first SNMP inform request before 
sending second inform, but after sometimes  i*t receives a response and 
and verify the message id and request id, It will not match that request 
id because, the latest session conatins second inform request details 
not the first one.* Once again it will get the next session from list 
and continues but it fails because *no FD's were set *and returns, So 
after timeout first inform will always be retransmitted,


Please let me know how it is handled in snmp agent and what might be the 
solution to handle this?

Regards,
Venki.
