What do you mean by "migrate" ?
Anything written against 5.1.1 should continue to work with 5.1.2
and beyond.   In the same way that anything written against 4.2.x
still works with the 5.x line.

There might be new features and improvements that you wouldn't be
taking advantage of, but nothing that should actually stop working.
We do *try* to keep backward compatability.


One thing you might like to bear in mind, is that it's proved
useful to keep the gathering of information separate from the
MIB interface to it.   If you have one set of routines to build
an internal representation of the interfaces and associated stats,
and another set that takes this representation and responds to
SNMP requests,  then migrating to take advantage of a new feature
should typically only involve reworking half of this code.
   If it's all mixed up together, you'll probably have to
rewrite the whole damn lot!

Only if somebody writes it :-)
