The bulk to next helper converts GETBULK requests into GETNEXT requests and handles repeatedly calling the lower level handlers with multiple GETNEXT requests to fulfill all the data needed. HANDLER_CAN_GETBULK Since it is common for low level MIB code to not worry about GETBULKs, this handler is inserted by default **unless** the HANDLER_CAN_GETBULK flag has been passed to netsnmp_create_handler_registration() or a similar function.
