This read-only gauge reports the real-time rate, in cells per second, at which cells are being received from the network side for this channel in the egress direction, measured before egress queueing is applied. Admins use this as the raw inbound-from-network traffic rate feeding into the egress path, analogous to chanIngrRcvCellRate but for traffic headed the opposite direction toward the customer. For example, an admin noticing chanEgrRcvCellRate consistently near the port's capacity would anticipate potential egress queue buildup for that channel.
