This OID sets the observation threshold in cells for the low-priority output buffer on an HSC board, valid between 0 and one less than the total buffer size. Network engineers use this to detect when low-priority traffic is building up, helping them decide whether to drop or defer lower-priority packets to protect higher-priority classes. If set to 120, the observation counter will increment each time a low-priority cell arrives and the buffer is at 120 cells or above.
