Just like eglynn suggested in his comment of https://review.openstack.org/#/c/43073/, as I quote here:
However, I would like to revisit the issue of fine-grained versus bulk SNMP commands at some point in the future. IIUC the interaction could be made significantly less chatty if the bulk approach was used. I take your point that this is not supported by older SNMP versions, but I wonder could we always first assume that the bulk mode is supported by each host, and only revert to fine-grained commands if the bulk version fails in a way that suggests that mode is not supported by the SNMP daemon running on that host (and cache that per-host status).
Please note that in older version of SNMP(version<2c), bulkCmd is not supported. So we need to take that into account too.
