Speaking as the editor of the MIB and being known for being opinionated
about SNMP: SNMP sucks.  SNMP is *not* a good tool for monitoring routing
state.  It's fine for monitoring peer counters and monitoring specific
prefixes using standard polling techniques.

The MIB also has the ability to let you examine multi-rib scenarios as well,
but the indexing mechanism will have some amount of vendor-specificness to
it.
