That's a ~~difficult question~~.

That's not easy to answer in general.

If there's an existing agent that already implements the desired new

MIB, then it makes sense to re-use that, via whatever extension protocol

it might support. Ideally, this would be an AgentX sub-agent, since the

AgentX protocol is deliberately designed for this purpose, and provides

a fuller and more reliable mechanism than either SMUX or proxied SNMP.

But if the target subagent only supports SMUX or basic SNMP, then that

would dictate the extension protocol to use.

Implementing the module directly within the main agent (or via dlmod)

is probably the most efficient and reliable (since there's minimal

overheads between the code implementing the MIB module, and the agent

framework). But it does assume that there's a suitable mechanism for

retrieving the necessary information.
