Transport tweaks

SNMPv2c

Send SNMP GET request using the following options:

• with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’
• over IPv4/UDP with non-default timeout and no retries
• to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161
• for two instances of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object,
• based on Twisted I/O framework

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v2c -c public -r 0 -t 2 demo.snmplabs.com SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
