I personally would very much appreciate an implementation. If there
are things missing or unclear in the ID, please let us know. The home
for this ID was the NMRG, so any question related to the getrange
operation in general may be carried to the NMRG mailing list. Note
that we never pushed this document forward - perhaps we were just
waiting for someone to implement and thereby validate the document.

You have to dive into the agent core and you have to mimic the getbulk
implementation code and iterate using getnext's internally to produce
a getrange response. If done right, all MIB module instrumentations
should continue to function with the getrange PDU. I assume the amount
of code that needs to be written is at the end rather small; finding
the right 'spots' takes probably most of the work for someone not
familiar with the internals of the agent core.
