The snmp_dpi_bulk_packet Structure

Structure Definition

struct dpi_bulk_packet {
  long int          non_repeaters;   /* count of non-repeaters*/
  long int          max_repetitions; /* max repeaters         */
  struct dpi_next_packet *varBind_p; /* ptr to varBinds, chain*/
                                     /* of dpi_next_packets   */
};
typedef struct dpi_bulk_packet       snmp_dpi_bulk_packet;
#define snmp_dpi_bulk_packet_NULL_p  ((snmp_dpi_bulk_packet *)0)

Note: This structure is supported only in SNMP Version 2.

Structure Members

non_repeaters

The number of varBinds in the chain of dpi_next_packet structures that are to be treated as a single GETNEXT.
max_repetitions
The maximum number of repetitions for the remaining set of varBinds in dpi_next_packet structures treated as a single GETNEXT.
varBind_p
The pointer to the first varBind in the chain of dpi_next_packet structures.

Description

The snmp_dpi_bulk_packet structure represents a parse tree for a DPI GETBULK packet.

At the subagent side, the snmp_dpi_bulk_packet structure is normally created as a result of a call to pDPIpacket(). This is the case if the DPI packet is of type SNMP_DPI_GETBULK. The snmp_dpi_hdr structure then contains a pointer to an snmp_dpi_bulk_packet structure, which in turn has a pointer to a chain of one or more snmp_dpi_next_packet structures.

The DPI subagent programmer uses this structure to find out which variables instances are to be returned in a DPI RESPONSE.
