GLOBAL VARIABLES
    $AnyEvent::SNMP::MAX_OUTSTANDING (default: 50, dynamic)
    AnyEvent::SNMP::set_max_outstanding $new_value
        Use this package variable to restrict the number of outstanding SNMP
        requests at any point in time.

        Net::SNMP is very fast at creating and sending SNMP requests, but
        much slower at parsing (big, bulk) responses. This makes it easy to
        request a lot of data that can take many seconds to parse.

        In the best case, this can lead to unnecessary delays (and even
        time-outs, as the data has been received but not yet processed) and
        in the worst case, this can lead to packet loss, when the receive
        queue overflows and the kernel can no longer accept new packets.

        To avoid this, you can (and should) limit the number of outstanding
        requests to a number low enough so that parsing time doesn't
        introduce noticeable delays.

        Unfortunately, this number depends not only on processing speed and
        load of the machine running Net::SNMP, but also on the network
