Perfect! But I have no idea what a "DISPLAY-HINT" should do.

With:
   snmpwalk.exe -M mibs -m ALL -v1 -c public 10.0.0.21 IPV6-MIB::ipv6NetToMediaValid

I get no more junk:
   IPV6-MIB::ipv6NetToMediaValid.1.16.255.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.12 = INTEGER: true(1)
   IPV6-MIB::ipv6NetToMediaValid.1.16.255.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.22 = INTEGER: true(1)
   IPV6-MIB::ipv6NetToMediaValid.1.16.255.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.0.2 = INTEGER: true(1)
   IPV6-MIB::ipv6NetToMediaValid.5.16.32.2.109.189.32.120.0.1.93.187.117.76.81.91.63.96 = INTEGER: true(1)
   ...

BTW Bart, I use the latest from SF's git.
