The MibProxy class provides an easy way to proxy a management information subtree. All SNMP requests addressed to a managed object within that subtree are forwarded to a given SNMP agent. The MibProxy class asynchronously processes the responses to the forwarded requests and answers the original requests. Figure 10 shows an example implementation of a simple proxy agent. This agent holds the snmp group of MIB II locally and the system, interfaces and extended interfaces group are imported from a remote agent. The remote MIB groups are imported from the same source agent, but this is not a must.
