a3ComPathOutDiscards
Module: A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPathOutDiscards
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.16.2.1.25
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter
Access: read-only
Description: The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
What is a3ComPathOutDiscards?
This read-only Counter counts outbound packets dropped due to resource exhaustion, not transmission failure. It indicates output buffer congestion; rising values suggest the interface cannot keep up with traffic demand. Persistent increases warrant buffer tuning or bandwidth upgrades.
