The maximum packet size supported is 64KB. The methods GetPacketBufferSize() and GetPacketBufferSize() of SnmpSession is used to get and set the packet size of the response PDU. However, this also depends on the maximum size the agent can handle. If the size exceeds the limit, the agent sends the manager a GetResponse-PDU with the value of error-status field “too big”. In this case, you need to split the PDU into multiple requests and send them.
