Description: The counter associated with the number of total multicast packets received from the Higher Layer in a particular 15-minute interval in the past 24 hours.
What is srpHostIntMcastLowPriPktsIn?
This is a 64-bit counter of multicast frames (packet count) delivered up from the ring into the router's own higher-layer stack, labeled by its real description simply as the 'total' count rather than explicitly 'low priority' (even though the object's own name says LowPri), measured over one specific, already-completed 15-minute bucket from the rolling 24-hour history, rather than a live count. Because this is measured on the host side, it reflects only traffic this specific router is locally sourcing or sinking, so comparing it against the Ring-side counters on the same box shows how much of what crosses the ring this node actually originates versus just passes through, because SRP always drains high-priority traffic first, a plateau or drop in this low-priority counter while the matching high-priority counter is climbing indicates best-effort traffic is being squeezed out by real-time/control traffic rather than genuinely dropping off, and because multicast frames on a shared ring get passed along until they're stripped off or time out, a sudden multicast surge here more often reflects a flooding condition (e.g. an ARP-like storm or a new multicast subscriber group) than ordinary point-to-point application growth. For instance, this counter might read 242,239 multicast LowPri packets over that window on a moderately busy ring node.
