Scan the table .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3 and if you get 129 then you know
you have one of these things.  You'll probably find it will actually be
something like:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.3.1.1.<index> = 129

That's the standard ifType table that appears on every SNMP device. You
could probably copy the interface table. The trick is that this is a
standand MIB value.

.1.3.6.1.2.1.10.... is down the transmission path, at a guess these
are in the DOCSIS territory?

Create a poller item for each thing, using the snmp_counter plugin and
the mib with index as the parameter. The name of the poller is the name
of the RRD file, the backend is temporal buffer.

The poller group would then end with the usual "no poller -> RRD tool
all DS" thing.

It's better to write you own as you can pick up things like nice names
with it.

I've had experience with a bunch of CMTSs, you're right its not that
specific.  After while all the IP over "some stuff" devices start to
look the same.

What is interesting about this one is you're using standard MIBs here,
not proprietary, so they could be used by all sorts of CMTSs.
