You could look at the reference implementation in ISODE v8 : sources
are available on the Internet, you will find code for SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2, and mib compilers (and many others things related to the ISO
model). Long ago I tried to port it to FreeBSD but I was stopped by
problems related to the kernel structures describing routes that
changed a lot between BSD4.4 and its ancestors (ISODE v8 was
apparently waiting for the old ones :-( ). I finally succeeded in
compiling ISODE but not the SNMP part (I have FTAM working on my
FreeBSD, very usefull :-)) ). I'm sure many people would appreciate if
somebody port ISODE v8 to the BSDI/Free/NetBSD family.
