Reduction in the number of IPCs between master agent and subagent

The SNMP GetBulk requests are converted to AgentX GetNext for the repetitions specified in the request. This might result in several interprocess communication (IPC) messages between the master agent snmpd and the subagent AgentX in proportion to the number of max-repetitions specified in the GetBulk request. The number of IPCs between the master agent and subagent can be reduced by translating GetBulk requests with a high max-repetitions count to a single request between the master agent snmpd and the subagent AgentX.
