cePfePerfCurrentEfficiency

Module: CISCO-ENTITY-PFE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-ENTITY-PFE-MIB::cePfePerfCurrentEfficiency

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.265.1.1.2.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: CurrentEfficiency

Access: read-only

Description: This object provides the actual PFE percentage efficiency. It is determined by the total number of contexts per second divided by maximum theoretical contexts per second supported by the PFE pipeline. Under normal conditions, this number will be 100 and when efficiency starts degrading, it will start going down until it reaches zero.

What is cePfePerfCurrentEfficiency?

Reports the current percentage efficiency of the PFE pipeline, computed as actual contexts processed per second divided by the theoretical maximum. A value near 100 indicates healthy operation, with lower values signaling degraded performance.
