calculateTimeout

public int calculateTimeout(int timeout,
                            int retries)

Description copied from class: TimeoutPolicy

This method should calculate the timeout value and return it. The first argument is the timeout value that is set on the pdu before sending a SNMP request and the retries is the iteration.

Here is a better explanation:
For example, if the timeout value is 5000 milliSeconds and the retries value is 3, then this method will be called with the following values.
calculateTimeout(5000, 0) -- this should return the timeout for the actual request that is sent
calculateTimeout(5000, 1) -- this should return the timeout for the first re-try
calculateTimeout(5000, 2) -- this should return the timeout for the second re-try
calculateTimeout(5000, 3) -- this should return the timeout for the third re-try
