CMU's SNMPD caches the last value that was grabbed from that level of the program (e.g. all UDP queries go through one cache, all TCP through another, and so on). snmpwalk forces the cache to be flushed as there are no two queries to the same variable. snmpget can query the same variable twice in a row, and the second one will get the cached value.
