Description: The number of ICMP Source Quench messages received.
What is icmpInSrcQuenchs?
Counts ICMP Source Quench messages received, an old-style congestion signal asking the sender to slow down. Source Quench is a deprecated, rarely-used mechanism in modern networks, so any nonzero count here is more likely coming from legacy equipment upstream signaling congestion than from typical modern flow control, and is worth noting as a sign of aging infrastructure somewhere on the path. Example: seeing icmpInSrcQuenchs increment at all on a modern network is itself the finding; it points to an old router or middlebox somewhere upstream still implementing this obsolete congestion signal.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.6 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CHECKPOINT-MIB-2::icmpInSrcQuenchs
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.5.6.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CHECKPOINT-MIB-2::icmpInSrcQuenchs.1
