[smokeping-users] Forcing SNMP over TCP vs. UDP

[Peter Kristolaitis]

That probe uses the Net::SNMP module to manage SNMP queries.  IIRC,
Net::SNMP defaults to using UDP, however it will switch to TCP if it
can't reach the host via UDP.

Can you confirm whether you can reach the router with UDP from the
server hosting Smokeping by using other SNMP tools (e.g. snmpwalk, etc)?
