Write a script to probe the an SNMP agent and find the rate of change for several counters between successive probes/ samples. The rate calculated for each counter/OID should be displayed on the console, one line for each calculated rate, the output format will be described in detail in 'output format'. Futhermore, as the only requirement on the OIDs is that they are of the type COUNTER, this means that there are both 32 and 64 bit versions of counters. Your solution should handle both counter types, and in the case that a counter wraps (ie goes from a high number to a low number), your solution should address/rectify (if its possible). The solution needs also to handle that an SNMP agent restarts (i.e. the sysUpTime OID becomes less than it was before, ie. it starts counting from zero), and timeouts, i.e. the device does not respond to your request in time. It will be tested that your solution maintains the requested sampling frequency (i.e. the requests from your solution should be sent so that the sampling frequency is maintained, irrespectively if the device has responded or not).
