You should return the OID and value for the next valid instance.

For example, if you receive a GETNEXT request for your root OID,
then you should return the OID and value for the first instance.

If you receive a GETNEXT request for this first instance OID,
then you should return the OID and value for the second instance.
(Similarly for any OID lying between the first and second instances).

If you receive a GETNEXT request for the second instance OID
(or those immediately following), then you should return the OID
and value for the third instance.   And so on.
