Description: The maximum bandwidth usage of any measurement interval
  within this recording interval.

  This value is an estimate of the highest amount of
  traffic flowing through the switch during this
  recording interval.

 It is calculated as follows:

 Octets*8 + Frames*(96 + 64)
 ---------------------------
 Measurement Interval * 1,000,000 * 2

 Where:
   Measurement Interval is the amount of time over which
   the Octets and Frames were collected, in seconds.

   Measurement Interval is always one second in c2900's
   implementation.

   Octets is the total number of octets transmitted
   or received by all network interfaces, excluding
   framing data but including FCS. This includes octets
   in frames which were partially transmitted or
   received (due to collisions, for example).

   Frames is the total number of frames transmitted
   or received by all network interfaces, including
   frames with errors.

The number of frames is multiplied by 96 plus 64 in
order to estimate the delay between each frame for
Ethernet's IPG and preamble/SFD.

The '2' in the divisor makes this a forwarding bandwidth
counter. A frame received on one interface is typically
forwarded out another interface. In order to avoid double-
counting this frame's bandwidth, once on the receiving
interface and once on the transmitting interface, the
total bandwidth is divided by two.
Since multicast and broadcast frames can be sent to multiple
ports, the above is at best a lower bound.

What is c2900BandwidthUsagePeak?

Reports the highest bandwidth usage observed during any measurement sub-interval within the current recording interval, giving an estimate of peak traffic load on the switch.
