a3ComPathInDiscards
Module: A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPathInDiscards
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.16.2.1.19
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
What is a3ComPathInDiscards?
This read-only Counter tallies inbound packets dropped intentionally due to resource constraints, not transmission errors. It indicates buffer pressure or congestion; rising values suggest the path needs QoS tuning. A spike from 5000 to 50000 suggests sustained overload on that interface.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
