cefPrefixHCBytes
Module: CISCO-CEF-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-CEF-MIB::cefPrefixHCBytes
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.492.1.1.2.1.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Counter64
Access: read-only
Description: If CEF accounting is set to enable per prefix accounting (value of cefCfgAccountingMap object in the cefCfgEntry is set to enable 'perPrefix' accounting), then this object represents the number of bytes switched to this prefix.
This object is a 64-bit version of cefPrefixBytes.
What is cefPrefixHCBytes?
This is the 64-bit version of cefPrefixBytes, avoiding the wraparound risk the 32-bit byte counter faces on a high-throughput prefix. Byte counters wrap even faster than packet counters on high-bandwidth links since each packet contributes many bytes, so this 64-bit object is essential for accurate accounting on any prefix carrying more than a modest amount of traffic over a polling interval longer than a few minutes. A prefix sustaining 2 Gbps of traffic would overflow a 32-bit byte counter in well under a minute, making this 64-bit counter the only practical option for that destination's accounting.
