index/contents update flow (xxxTable_set_indexes /// initialize_table_xxxTable)

Hello all,

after some studiyng and looking at examples I'm down to a couple of
doubts about implementing agent extension for tables. In my case I
(guess I) will use mib2c.iterate_access.conf !?!?! but not really sure ?
Any hints here ?


? Where can I find information on the index/contents initialization and
refresh processing in the agent ?

In particular:

- What triggers this function: initialize_table_xxxTable() ? How many
times is it called ?
- What triggers this function: xxxTable_set_indexes()   ?
- What triggers this function: xxxTable_get_next_data_point() ?
- How does the agent refresh all the possible indexes (as they change
over time) ?

I could suggest focusing on the
'agent/mibgroup/mibII/ipCidrRouteTable.c' example (just because this
table is somewhat similar to the tables I must process).


Sorry for the long question, I just need to be sure of this.

If there is adequate documentation for this please point me to it. I
won't mind to get answers directlly in e-mail !!  :-)


Thanks

PS: I'm implementing Q-BRIDGE-MIB (rfc2674) in a strange way: I must
adapt net-snmp Agent to an existing L2 snmp API from our L2
manufacturer/partner. So I need to get a good grasp of the internals of
this in order to figure out the most correct/eficient way of
acomplishing some kind of translation API between net-snmp and the
underlying L2 firmware. Thanks a lot.
