This read-only Counter64 records the number of octets transmitted on this port during this bin's collection period, per its description, the outbound counterpart to cienaCesPmExtendedTxRxHistoryBinRxBytes. Comparing transmit and receive byte counts for the same bin reveals whether traffic on this port was roughly symmetric or heavily skewed in one direction during that specific window, which matters for capacity planning on asymmetric links like a customer-facing access port carrying mostly downstream traffic. An engineer sizing an upstream trunk based on observed usage would compare this TxBytes value against RxBytes across several bins to characterize the actual directional traffic ratio rather than assuming symmetric load.
