This is the outbound counterpart to cktInOctetsPeak, reporting the 5-minute peak value of outbound octets for the circuit from Bulk Statistics. Comparing this against the inbound peak reveals whether the circuit's traffic is symmetric or heavily skewed in one direction, which matters for provisioning asymmetric bandwidth allocations correctly. An admin sizing a circuit for a backup application that mostly pushes data outbound would expect cktOutOctetsPeak to run much higher than cktInOctetsPeak and would provision accordingly.
