Module: A10-AX-MIB
OID (symbolic): A10-AX-MIB::axSwitchStatsFwdKernel
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.22610.2.4.3.16.17
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Number of packets received by the kernel from data interfaces.
What is axSwitchStatsFwdKernel?
This OID counts packets forwarded from data interfaces up to the kernel for layer-3 or control-plane processing. Engineers use it to measure CPU load and identify bottlenecks when many packets need special handling. For example, 500,000 packets to kernel per second on a 10-Gbps link suggests intensive routing lookups or heavy load-balancing decisions.
