Not sure what you're saying here with regard to the getnext performance.

It is of the nature of a complex network (or more precisely, a busy switch) that
it has a lot of cross-connect information. You want to read all of the
information, but there is a lot of information.

It would, presumably, be possible to aggregate the information so that it can be
read in one block not row by row. Is this what you're talking about?

How does this compare with your experience of using MIB modules to manage ATM
equipment?
