RE: Length of string variable in a Trap

Thanks Mike.
What is the maximum length of a SNMP packet supported by NET-SNMP? Is it
64KB since max size of UDP packet size is 64KB?
I am planning to have at-least 2 variables of 4096 length. Is that a
cause for concern?

Thanks
Edison

65,535 8-bit bytes. If you are going to deal with large
strings, make certain that you are using the byte length and not the
character length, which can be less than a quarter of the byte length in
extreme circumstances!
