I believe both snmpget and snmpwalk (default *nix tools) are "packet, reply;
packet, reply" as you mentioned.
You can investigate the snmpbulkget and snmpbulkwalk commands; requires v2c
of SNMP but this, in theory allows a single request for multiple variables.
I haven't spent any time trying this myself so I don't know what you need to
do to make this work but hopefully this is a nudge in the right direction.

Subject: SNMPWALK vs SNMPGET
Group,
Does anybody know(With proofs) if snmpwalk would be more efficient than
multiple snmpget?
One of my friend tells me that snmpwalk will produce same amount of traffic
and packets as multiple snmpgets. As you know, with snmpget, each snmp
request
is an UDP packet and reply is also an UDP packet. I am curious when you do
snmpwalk if all reply comes in one packet or each line of reply is seperate
packet?
Thanks,
Sam Munzani
