Most of the MIB modules shipped with the Net-SNMP agent still use the v4 "traditional" MIB module API, but a few use one of the newer v5 helper-based handlers.

The dataset handler is used in the two DISMAN-EVENT-MIB modules (disman/mteEventTable and disman/mteEventNotificationTable), as well as the 'snmptrapd' implementation of logging incoming traps (apps/notification_log)

The basic iterator handler is used in a number of modules, such as the latest TCP and UDP table implementations (mibII/tcpTable & mibII/udpTable), VACM context handling (mibII/vacm_context) and various tables relating to agent internals (agent/*). These show a number of different approaches to using the iterator helper, so it's worth comparing them.

The two examples/netSnmpHostsTable* modules provide a contrast between the iterator and iterator_access helpers.

The Net-SNMP agent does not currently include any MIB modules using the array-user container-based helper. The best examples of this are to be found in the net-policy project. See http://net-policy.sourceforge.net/
