About SNMP Helper throttling

Throttling the SNMP Helper establishes a delay between SNMP requests sent by the SNMP Helper using a formula that uses the GeneralSlowdown, GetNextBoundary, and GetNextSlowdown parameters.

Here is how the SNMP Helper sends requests without throttling (default) and with throttling:

When throttling is inactivate, then SNMP GetNext operations work as follows: the SNMP Helper sends the first SNMP Get request and once Network Manager obtains a response then the SNMP Helper immediately sends the GetNext request.
When throttling is activated, a delay is introduced between GetNext requests. The delay can be a shorter, generally defined delay or a longer delay. The system keeps track of the number of GetNext requests being sent to a network device and once that number exceeds a certain value, then the longer delay is applied; otherwise the shorter delay is applied. The system uses the GeneralSlowdown, GetNextBoundary, and GetNextSlowdown parameters defined in the snmpStack.accessParameters database table to determine which delay to apply.
